Recently, as living of people becomes economically liberal, people's interests are being directed to enjoying leisure and finding fun. The design area is not exceptional from this change and thus fun elements are working as important purchase factors when people are purchasing goods in addition to intrinsic uses of the goods. Along with the development of cutting-edge technologies, other manufacturing industries like electronics, automobiles etc are swiftly responding to this trend, but the furniture industry that has been perceived as a relatively low technical industry is not at all prepared for this trend. Here, this thesis is to suggest a direction for our furniture industry to go by proposing many potentials to apply fun elements to furniture through surveys of design cases addressing fun in other areas. The surveys made in this study are largely divided into the fun in the aspect of perception and the fun in the aspect of awareness. First, the fun in the aspect of perception of furniture can be experienced through the assembling of D. I. Y. furniture and this requires studies and efforts of developers in order to enable people to enjoy the processes of assembling as a sort of 'play' without feeling a burden in the processes of assembling. Second, the fun in the aspect of awareness of furniture can be created by boldly introducing new technologies and materials from other industrials and this includes adding other functions than the intrinsic use of furniture such as containing things.

First, through the item analysis, factor analysis and reliability analysis, 7 factors composed of 29 items were extracted: 'self-determination', 'extrinsic reward', 'goal achievement', 'pleasure in the process', 'contribution to the company', 'worthless', 'challenge'. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of each factor was suitable. Secondly, EFA was conducted to test the construct validity of fun scale with AMOS 16.0. Several goodness of fit indexes were used to assess model fit: X2/df, TLI, CFI, RMSEA. The results were revealed that all the indexes were acceptable with no additional modification. Based on these findings, the theoretical and the practical implications of fun perception scale were discussed.

In product design, many designers incorporate psychological aspects to express the "fun" factor. If so, is it possible to apply the fun inducing mechanism utilized in psychology to product design and are there any problems in the application\ulcorner Psychology defines the sense of fun as the result of relief to a situation that causes a mental accumulation through the discovery of a due. The psychological extraction of fun inducing mechanism tends to lean too much to the cognitive aspect. Therefore, when dealing with product design, psychology's particular disposition is inadequate in explaining the important perceptive factor of fun. This study hypothesizes that perceptive aspect of should be induced along with the cognitive aspect in order to rationalize fun in product design. In order to understand the perception of fun, this study will introduce the amusement aspect within Kitsch products. Methods of developing a humorous form will be studied and these methods will be applicable to perceptive aspects. This paper hypothesizes that through the theoretical basis of internal characteristic of cognitive factors and external characteristic of perceptive factors, the mechanism of fun can be determined.etermined.
