Furniture Design
• Different tables for different cultures
1. Society culture is formed though many inputs, the most importance ones are nature, ecological
systems, religious and ideological trend, and it is affected by customs, traditions, and popular
customs. Besides it is also affected by economic and political variables.
2. Products design is affected by changing of people cultural content (designer identity) which
give each design its own distinct character connected with society culture and trend. And
product design itself contributes to the change.
3. Globalization had a great effect on all design and innovation works, which lead to combining
of many thoughts, trends, and needs, but it’s necessary to show the designer’s self-expression
which is differed according to each society, its culture and trend.

For example, in South Africa red is the color of mourning. However, in China red symbolizes
good fortune. Trying to sell the same red product in those two countries would get a very
different response.

In Japan, traditionally people sit on the floor to eat the family meal. The design of dining
furniture for Japan is very different to that in Europe.
