Purpose From an interpretive semiology perspective this paper examines the meaning suggested by the absence of children in newspaper advertisements, commercial websites and catalogue images of children’s furniture manufacturers. The purpose of the paper is to highlight the multilayered process involved in conveying meaning to the “parent-child cluster” consumer through press and online advertisements designed by children’s furniture manufacturers. Design/methodology/approach A corpus of 200 press advertisements and catalogues produced by children's furniture manufacturers (particularly IKEA and Gautier) was analysed using a combination of Barthes’ (1964) visual analysis and Greimas’ (1987) narrative approach to visual discourses. Findings The scenes portrayed to shape the message addressed to the “parent-child cluster“ consumer, suggest that, in addition to fostering positive values such as self-fulfilment and stimulating background for an active child, they also promote discourses about contemporary childhood and parenthood. Originality/value This paper highlights how furniture retailers through the figurative choices they make to portray a child bedroom and to organize a series of child bedroom images within a catalogue, generate a brand discourse aiming to typify representations of childhood imbued with diverse cognitive, social and emotional dimensions within diverse cultural backgrounds.

Full textAbstract:
With the differentiation of the furniture market, there is a growing demand for children’s furniture. The design of children’s furniture must fully consider the special cognition and preference of children, highlight environmental friendliness and health, and benefit the physical and mental development of children. These design objectives are similar to those of green furniture. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the quality of green manufacturing, the key link of green furniture production, with the aid of the excellent data processing technique of artificial intelligence (AI). Thus, this paper summarizes the AI applications in quality testing of children’s furniture and statistical analysis on its greenness, and constructs an evaluation model for green manufacturing quality of children’s furniture. Firstly, the authors introduced the architecture of the green manufacturing system for children’s furniture, and analyzed the product lifecycle and environmental pollutions. On this basis, a complete and scientific evaluation index system (EIS) was constructed. Next, the weight coefficients of the goal layer and criteria layer were determined by the entropy method, and the initial evaluation result were provided. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation model was established for the green manufacturing quality of children’s furniture, based on backpropagation neural network (BPNN), and genetic algorithm with adaptive mutation (AMGA). The proposed EIS and model were proved effective through experiments. The research results provide a reference for the quality evaluation in other fields.

BACKGROUND: Because of wrong sitting position, children have back-pain and related musculoskeletal pain (MPD). Due to inappropriate designed class furniture by not taking into account the children’s anthropometric measurements have negative effect on children musculoskeletal systems. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has changed the furniture industry’s production trends. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop a new fuzzy based design of ergonomic-oriented classroom furniture for primary school students considering the measured anthropometric dimensions of students’ safety, health, well-being, i.e. ergonomic criteria, socio-psychological aspect and post-COVID policies. METHODS: In the study 2049 number of primary school students are assessed considering COVID-19 pandemic policies and their static anthropometric dimensions were measured between 7-10-year-old (between 1st-4th grade students) and descriptive statistics of children among their ages and genders are calculated; mean, standard deviation, percentiles. The data collected from the students were analyzed quantitatively by using Significance Analysis: Mann-Whitney U test statistic, t-test, Regression Analysis and one-way ANOVA. In the study interviews with experts are performed and fuzzy mathematical model (by using fuzzy-AHP, fuzzy-TOPSIS and fuzzy-VIKOR) is developed to calculate Turkey’s three schools’ furniture. RESULTS: Results showed statistically significant differences between two genders. And it is observed that the seating bench height is too high for primary school students and lower than the height of the classroom’s blackboard from the floor. Fuzzy Multi Criteria Decision Making Method’s (FMCDM) results show that primary school students’ ergonomic classroom furniture should be mainly designed by considering “COVID-19 Criteria”, “Ergonomic Criteria” and “Socio-Psychological Aspect”. Students’ existing seating benches and tables are changed by considering post-COVID policies/protocols, Ergonomic Criteria and Socio-Psychological Aspect. And a new seating bench/chair and table’s dimensions is proposed in the study. CONCLUSIONS: Children study at school for long periods and their activities involve long periods of time on their desks in schools. As per the results of the study, it can be concluded that school management must consider the genders, ages of students and take into account the post-COVID policies/protocols while procuring the classroom furniture. The COVID-19 pandemic is the single largest event to have affected children globally in their access to school in recent times; estimates suggest that over 85%of the world’s total enrolled learners, 1.5 billion children and youths, have been affected. The coronavirus pandemic also creates dramatic changes for the school furniture.

Full textAbstract:
This research describes the application of a scientific and technological model of Ergonomics in the design of pre-school furniture. The constant presence of the desk in early education and its influence in the relationship between the user and his educational environment determined the necessity of this project. The pre-school desk was considered as a “work station”, where the joint aspects of education and child anthropometry substantiate the problem. The review of the Historical application of Ergonomics in the Design of children's products consolidated the importance of this report. The development of ergonomic research, characterised by investigations of the Brazilian child's Anthropometric Data and Biomechanical Features, resulted in dimensional parameters of the user and physical characteristics of the present furniture. These elements, together with a comprehension of activities and needs in the pre-school, were connected with aspects of bibliographical revision to result in a series of recomendations for design. Through the methods of Ergonomic Design, a new proposal for the pre-school desk was developed, denominated “Mobipresc 3.6”.

Based on the current development of children's electric cars on the market, the design takes human engineering research as the starting point. Analyzing the defects and problems of the existing children's electric vehicle, we decide to design a multi-function electric vehicle for children. It not only can perform multi-function conversion, but also increase the additional subordinate function. Eventually it can be used better and more convenient. What’s more, it can improve the comfort and utilization of the conversion. Since reform and opening up, the national economy is at the rapid development. People's living standard has been gradually improved, and now people are longing for a better life, which can be reflected in the daily choice and requirements of children's car. Children are the hope of every family, so early children's small cars have become one of the important furniture parents value. This paper research and analyze the existing problems in the use of electric vehicles for children. Based on the practical and functional design concept, the paper redesign the structure of children's electric vehicle and expand its use function.

Full textAbstract:
The Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association published a new educational seating standard in 2012. (See the sidebar for BIFMA details.) Discussions during the development of this standard included the anthropometrics of children. These discussions showed that the large anthropometric databases available for children are outdated and do not represent the current student population. The standard was finalized following receipt of input from ergonomists on how children’s sizes have changed, but it does not cover the ergonomic design of seating for children. A current large-scale anthropometric data set for children would have been beneficial in developing loads in the standard as well as in recommending sizes for educational furniture.

Purpose During hospitalization, children are faced with physical disorders and many psychological challenges. One important factor affecting children is the environmental design of the hospital. The inappropriate design of hospitals may contribute to an increase in fear, anxiety and behavioral disorders. The purpose of this study is to use children’s perspectives to evaluate the importance and impact of effective environmental factors to generate children’s hospital design guidelines. Design/methodology/approach In this study, children’s desired atmosphere during treatment was examined via 16 drawings and 24 interviews from children at a children’s hospital in Iran. Findings The encoding of information extracted environmental components such as window view, color, hobby, playing, decorations, family presence, structure of hospital, presence of nurse, furniture, water features, light and green space. The results indicate that children prefer a hospital environment that provides entertainment facilities while also offering design features such as the presence of light, colorful decorations, the existence of green spaces and conditions suitable for their families to be present. Research limitations/implications Depending on the location and their living conditions, the children’s prioritization can be different in any society. In addition, the data of this research was descriptive; thus, the conclusions must be considered tentative. Originality/value A number of studies focus on the needs of populations in developed countries. This topic has not been investigated in a major way via professionals in non-western countries such as Iran. Thus, the context of this study and present findings can be deemed unique.

This journal’s editorial statement is clear that political discourse should be studied not only as regards parliamentary type politics. In this introduction we argue precisely for the need to pay increasing attention to the way that political ideologies are infused into culture more widely, in entertainments media, software, administrative processes, children’s apps, healthcare and even office furniture design. We point to the way that there have been massive shifts away from traditional state forms of politics to the rule of neoliberalism and the power of the corporation which, like the former regime of power, requires meanings and identities which can hold them in place. We explain the processes by which critical multimodal discourse analysis can best draw out this ideology as it is realized through different semiotics resources.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Children are prospective future generations of nations and countries where children must be creative and have potential intellectual abilities. In this paper we will discuss more about the impact of interior elements in kindergarten learning spaces, where at this age Children spend a lot of time in their classrooms. Kindergarten study rooms should be full of fun, not make children depressed, and increase children's creativity. Factors that play a role in supporting child development in kindergartens are the quality of the teacher, the program of activities and the physical environment. So that the program of activities can run well and optimal child development, it needs to be supported by the classroom as part of the physical environment, which is in accordance with the needs and development of children. The general objective of this study is to examine the impact of both positive and negative interior elements for the kindergarten learning space, which analyzed what needs to be added or subtracted in order to help achieve the curriculum targets of each school. The specific objective is to create education that provides a sense of security and fun for children aged 4-6 years, given that kindergarten is one of the early forms of school education known to children and is considered to be their second home. In this paper the authors analyze the interior elements in the kindergarten study room, namely on the floor, walls, ceiling, and furniture. The problem found is the lack of space for children to imagine and design learning spaces that are related to the needs of children or students. And the suggestion from the writer is that a good kindergarten classroom is to minimize items or furniture that are lacking in multifunctionality. So that the room can have a part that can provide opportunities for children to imagine creatively. <br /> </p><p><br /><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Anak adalah calon generasi penerus bangsa dan negara dimana anak haruslah kreatif serta memiliki potensi kemampuan intelektual. Dalam makalah ini akan dibahas lebih dalam mengenai dampak elemen interior di ruang belajar taman kanak-kanak, dimana pada usia tersebut anak-anak banyak menghabiskan waktunya di ruang belajar/kelas mereka. Ruang belajar taman kanak-kanak haruslah penuh keceriaan, tidak membuat anak tertekan, dan meningkatkan kreatifitas anak. Faktor-faktor yang berperan dalam menunjang perkembangan anak di taman kanak-kanak adalah kualitas guru, program kegiatan dan lingkungan fisik. Agar program kegiatan dapat berjalan dengan baik dan perkembangan anak optimal, maka perlu didukung oleh ruang kelas sebagai bagian dari lingkungan fisik, yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan perkembangan anak. Adapun tujuan umum dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji dampak elemen interior baik yang positif maupun negatif untuk ruang belajar taman kanak-kanak yang dianalisis apa saja yang harus ditambahkan atau dikurangkan agar dapat membantu mencapai target kurikulum dari setiap sekolah. Tujuan khususnya adalah untuk menciptakan pendidikan yang memberikan rasa aman dan menyenangkan bagi anak usia 4-6 tahun, mengingat taman kanak-kanak merupakan salah satu bentuk awal pendidikan sekolah yang dikenal anak dan dianggap menjadi rumah keduanya. Dalam makalah ini penulis menganalisis elemenelemen interior dalam ruang belajar taman kanak-kanak, yaitu pada lantai, dinding, ceiling, dan furniture. Masalah yang ditemukan ialah kurangnya ruang bagi anak-anak untuk berimajinasi dan desain ruang belajar yang dihubungkan dengan kebutuhan anak atau murid. Dan saran dari penulis ialah ruang kelas taman belajar kanak-kanak yang baik adalah dengan meminimalisir barang-barang atau furniture yang ada dan yang kurang multifungsi. Agar ruangan tersebut memiliki bagian yang dapat memberikan peluang untuk anak-anak berimajinasi kreatif. Kata kunci: anak, taman kanak-kanak, ruang belajar, elemen interior</p>

Attention to the safety of children and adolescents as an effective stratum of society is inevitable. The stratum which the future of every city and country is in their hands. Nowadays, children in addition to nutrition, clean air and a shelter, need a safe and healthy open space to play and communicate with the environment. Flaws of urban spaces do not allow children to experiment and bring them to digital devices and solitaire games. The result is nothing but the growing individualist kids with a spirit of isolationism, a topic that can be called a threat to the health of the community. The present study is a small step towards recognizing the issues of the sense of security of children in the parks of Mashhad. In this research, the physical characteristics and space design, which include pass way quality indicators, lighting, urban furniture, and ultimately the security of space in parks of region 1 of Mashhad municipality will be analyzed. In this study, the research method is descriptive-analytical and with the understanding of effective physical indices on security through field, documentary and library studies, and comparing the contribution of these indices to other physical indices in similar samples, we explain the importance of these indices. Based on the data the most important physical factors affecting the improvement of security of children’s urban parks are the attention to the lighting index of all parks at nights, and also the reduction of out-of-sight locations and inducing fear in the design of the parks.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the main ergonomic factors that contribute to the formation of archi- tecture. The use of ergonomic requirements in the field of architectural design is due to the prob- lems of architectural ergonomics, which are associated with the formation of an environment that allows the child to use his abilities and respond to his individual requests. Based on the studies, 4 main ergonomic factors are identified and their detailed characteristics are given. One of the most important subsystems of the social sphere of any state is nurturing, treat- ment and education of children with various types of disabilities and limitations, which determines the potential of social, economic and cultural development. In our country we are actively searching for the solutions that allow flexible use of the building, taking into account emerging changes in the forms and methods of rehabilitation and training. The solution of this problem is to create open internal, transformed space for children’s rehabilitation centers. In fact the features and specifics of the rehabilitation is a research institution in which there is a research part and it carries out the work in each individual situation, and in the activity of the specialist as a whole, and without focusing on this aspect, this work becomes a simple formality. The application of ergonomic requirements in the field of environmental architectural de- sign highlights the problems of architectural ergonomics, associated with the formation of our im- mediate surrounding, in accordance with individual requests of the person, taking into account the facilitation of the fulfillment of human life functions. Against this background, it is necessary to be very responsive to creating of the architectural environment for children with disabilities. Ergo- nomic factors are the most important forming factors for particular architecture that will affect the treatment and rehabilitation of such children. Thus, the ergonomic factors, that affect the formation of rehabilitation centers for the chil- dren with disabilities, can be divided into 4 groups: • spatial and anthropometric requirements (dimension and size of the equipment and furniture, geometric parameters of space, spatial human behavior, human anthropomet- ric characteristics); • determination of number of storeys; • barrier-free architecture; • psycho-physiological environment. Correcting the architectural environment would reduce the problem of children with disa- bilities. It should be noted that equipping the environment with stationary supporting devices does not solve the problem of physical defect compensation. The environment ―obstacles‖ for such children are: long way, difficult route, irrational movement, interaction with furniture, etc. According to the research, the children and the teachers are forced to walk up to a 40-floor height every day. Of course, this has a negative effect on children’s health. It is established that as a result of 5-floor rising, the pulse rate and blood pressure indicators change significantly, and the recovery occurs only in 10-20 minutes. Most of the existing centers are located in four-, five-storey buildings. Although the hy- gienists in special children’s rehabilitation centers have not performed similar studies, it is correct to assume that the negative impact of these factors on them will increase taking into account the peculiarities of physical growth and development of children with disabilities. The issue of identi- fying the optimum number of stories in a building is closely connected with the organization of connection between the classrooms and the school site. When organizing the environment during the design it is necessary to foresee and ensure: the shortest accessibility to the rooms, actively used by the children; reduction of movement routes, exclusion of difficult routes; obstacle clearing on the path; the use of specially designed furniture, effective trauma protection of the children. It should be noted that the use of such elements as paintings, reproductions, photos, music, color, can significantly improve the mental health of patients and affect the working efficiency of the staff. However, when choosing colors for walls, doors, furniture, for the purpose of special marking, it is necessary to take into account the difficulties in their discrimination for many peo- ple, in particular, for elderly patients, patients with mental disorders and those who have color dis- crimination [6, p. 14]. Medical equipment, that is easy to transform and takes into account the different levels of users’ mobility, will help to create comfortable, safe conditions and lighten the work of the staff. For example, a height-adjustable specialist seating is accessible for the children with muscle- skeleton disorder and, at the same time, reduces staff efforts. Creating barrier-free architecture is one of the topical problems in building an accessible architectural environment for children with disabilities. This factor should take into account the needs of those children who require specific conditions, who have trouble in self-care and mobility. The first and most important requirement for creating a barrier-free environment is the concept of ―universal design‖. The second most important requirement is acting according to a continuity principle of the barrier-free architectural environment. No barriers, the elements, that make impossible or signifi-cantly complicated movement and self-care, should be encountered in all the spheres of human activity, and first of all in the path of movement. It is especially important to follow the continuity principle in the areas where the child is most often. State building codes and design guides help the architects and designers make space for the children with disabilities as accessible, comfortable, and understandable as possible. Nowadays, universal design in our country is at the level of development, but this is the first steps towards improving the architectural environment for children with disabilities.

<p>In Indonesia, rattan is one of the natural resources used for furniture materials such as wood. Therefore, rattan furniture has grown has long been developed since the traditional model and developed rapidly in the era of modern design. In the period of traditional furniture, rattan furniture was viewed as cheap furniture, quickly damaged and therefore rarely used for middle-class home furnishings. With the efforts of several design lecturers who are also furniture designers, rattan furniture was then developed with a modern design approach with influence from Scandinavian furniture design. As a result, modern rattan furniture can be accepted into middle-upper class. This study aim is to examine the influence of Scandinavian furniture design particularly Danish furniture design in the early development of modern rattan furniture design in Indonesia. The influence will be describe in two ways those are product design concepts acquired from Scandinavian design media and academic influence from Indonesian designer who study in Scandinavian countries and develop the rattan furniture in Indonesia. This paper uses the comparative study method to gain an understanding and description of Indonesian rattan furniture design with the influence of Scandinavian furniture design especially Denmark. The result show that Indonesian furniture designers are able to adopt the characteristics of mdoern Scandinavian furniture design that is generally made of wood into the modern design of rattan furniture.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Street furniture are installed in different locations of a city, are daily used by a large public, and have the closest contact and most dynamic interaction with people and the environment. Hence, they have a great responsibility to benefit the society and urban development. In this paper, we focus on street furniture for adopting the concept of sustainability through the local cities.This paper presents an experiment which is conducted at Art University of Isfahan (AUI) in order to explore the promises and challenges of designing for deep sustainability within different contexts of the city (Isfahan). The main objective of the experiment is to develop design interventions which affect and guide the community toward sustainability. Specifically students are asked to design street furniture or define an urban intervention which is not neutral but improves sustainability within the context. Finally, the proposed design interventions are evaluated based on their level of success for establishing sustainability. Final results indicate that although a common approach was applied for all the projects in in this experiment, the developed design interventions are not equally contributed to sustainability. While some of the projects only focused on eco-design strategies, some projects succeeded to provide a higher level of sustainability within their context and developed more influential and longer-term sustainable design interventions. It is achieved by the projects that conducted behavioral, social and contextual analysis in order to enhance environmental responsible behavior among the public (e.g. raise public awareness of sustainability, sensate or educate people, or support sustainable behavior). This paper is the extended version of the paper that has been published in the proceedings of the Creative Construction Conference 2018 (Allameh and Heidari, 2018).
