Type: article
Abstract: "Cantonese-style furniture," as one of the three major schools of traditional Chinese furniture, represents the most distinctive and emblematic regional cultural furniture from Guangdong Province, China. Currently, the Cantonese-style furniture on the market either imitates traditional designs, failing to meet modern lifestyles and aesthetic needs, or features mass-produced modern hardwood furniture lacking regional characteristics. This highlights the importance of establishing a design evaluation system for Cantonese-style furniture. Therefore, this study aims to explore the principles and processes for constructing a design evaluation index system for Cantonese-style chairs. Through a review of existing literature and comparative analysis, eight key principles have been identified for the development of this index system: Scientific validity, Objective, comprehensiveness, hierarchical structure, operability, independence, significance, and dynamism. Additionally, the construction process is outlined in five stages: preliminary development, qualitative screening, quantitative screening, rationality verification, and feedback verification. This research provides a methodological reference for constructing evaluation index systems for other furniture or product designs.
