Introduction Re- do!


INTRODUCTION ON FURNITURE
What is furniture to you? Furniture may come in many forms, such as tables, chairs, bed, cupboards. The term furniture is a combination of the word ‘furnish’ and ‘fixture’, with the means of decorating a space with an object that is useable to the users. It is important to select the right piece of furniture for a space as the combination of furniture used will actually form the identity of the space. For instance, A bed; when it is placed in a room; people will automatically associate that space to a bed room. However, in this modern era, space has become an issue in the metropolis. People find that they are getting lesser space compared to the suburban people.  Thus, the architecture of furniture has to adapt to the change too; from a singular usage to a multi- usage furniture. Just imagine, a chair combines with a table or another chair to form something with dual usage or even a table combines with storage! All this sounded very out of place during the 1700’s. But in the olden days, dual usage furniture has already been in use; people did not realize it because their forms did not defer much from the original look of a table or a chair. They can mostly  be seen in the form of a storage letter desk, where people those days use it to write letters; and people find it space saving with value for money. As centuries past, humans begin to undergo world advancement furniture to evolved, the idea of having multi- purpose furniture caught on as there is a demand from the public, due to the issue with space; to stress on that, furniture, being the building block or make up of a space planning that is important in architecture changes in form along the centuries. Throughout the years since the first multi- purpose furniture was introduced, it has evolved into very unique shapes and sizes which defies the term of a proper chair or table. This could be based on their usage of material to make the furniture or the form that they take shape. One question comes in to mind, does the public all prefer multi-purpose furniture? Could they all accept the transformation that multi-purpose have gone through?
Therefore, a study will be done based on the evolution of a singular purpose furniture towards a multi- purpose furniture with investigations concerning feedbacks from the users whom chooses the product and also the non-users whom did not prefer the product. This study paper would cover 3 important chapters excluding the introduction and conclusion. 

P/s : will include pictures / citation and all if possible ( still undergoing development)

MY FIRST 1000 WORDS


INTRODUCTION
So,
What is furniture? What is it to you, is more of the question.Furniture can come in many forms, such as tables, chairs, bed, cupboards. The term furniture is a combination of the word ‘furnish’ and ‘fixture’, with the means of decorating a space with an object that is useable to the users. It is important to select the right piece of furniture for a space as the combination of furniture used will actually form the identity of the space.  For instance, A bed; everyone knows that a bed belongs to the bedroom, when you have a bed in a room, people will automatically associate that space is a bed room. However, in this modern age, space has become so important in the metropolis.  Thus the architecture of furniture has to be reconsidered too; from a singular usage to a multi- usage furniture. Imagine, one day, a chair combines with a table or a chair combines with a storage; or maybe even a table with a bed! All this sounded very out of place during the 1700’s. But actually in the olden days, dual usage furniture has already been in use; mostly in the form of a storage letter desk, where people those days use it to write letters. The reason to having multi- purpose furniture is because there are issues with space, and furniture, being the building block or make up of a space planning  that is stressed upon in architecture have to adapt to the change too. But throughout the years since the first multi- purpose furniture was introduced, it has evolved into very unique shapes and sizes which defies the term of a proper chair or table. This could be based on their usage of material to make the furniture or the form that they take place in. One question comes in to mind, so would you choose multi- purpose furniture at this era of the 21st century?  Does everyone like it?
Therefore, a study will be done based on the evolution of a singular purpose furniture towards a multi- purpose furniture with concerns of the users whom chooses the product and also the non-users whom did not opt for the product. Aim of this  study is to solve the issue of the non-users not opting for multi- purpose furniture and also to receive feedbacks from the current users of multi-purpose furniture to further improve the product’s be it ergonomics, material or form to cater for everyone. The method to achieve the aim would be through looking through the past history of how the multi-purpose furniture was born, the reason that led rise to the start of multi- purpose furniture and whom started the idea. Whether or not the idea does catch on will be discussed in the chapters of the thesis. Other than that, interviews will be done  towards a multi- purpose furniture designer on the issues they consider when they start designing a multi- purpose furniture, the process, the usage of materials and the form it will take shape in. The most important part that comes into the study is the feedback from the surveys that will be done towards the public of Malaysian metropolitan people on their opinions towards multi- purpose furniture today and back then in the 19th century. Also, to see if they are currently a user or a fan of multi- purpose furniture. It is important for the study to also find out what are their feedbacks using the multi- purpose furniture in their homes; if it is child friendly or elderly friendly. For those who are currently non users of multi-purpose furniture, the study would want to find out the reason for not opting for multi- purpose furniture. Self-observation would also be done at IKEA store in The Curve, Mutiara -Damansara on what age of people would be the one choosing that multi-purpose furniture. Do they fall under the category of the kids 3-11 years old, teens 12-19 years old, young adults from 20-30 years old, maybe those in the category 30- 50 years old or even the age category of 50 – 70 years old.
This study paper would cover 3 important chapters excluding the introduction and conclusion. Chapter 1 would be stating the variety of furniture’s there are in the market; what falls under the category of furniture. Also how they play a role in architecture. Furthermore chapter 1 will also talk about the evolution from the one function furniture towards the start of the multi- purpose furniture. The types of material that furniture is commonly made with and also the new materials that have been introduced into the making of furniture’s in this 21st century. Chapter 1 will already find out the reason for the change towards the multi- purpose furniture and also who initiated the change and brought it into the furniture market industry. It’s also an important point in chapter 1 to state out when was the change initiated and from where did the change first started before moving all over the world.
Moving on towards chapter 2 of the contents of this paper, the impact of the change towards multi-purpose furniture will be highlighted deeply. For instance, How it affects the public, furniture market industry, the mindset of the one who are attracted to it and not attracted to it and lastly what reason actually made people attracted towards multi-purpose furniture.
Then, in the 3rd chapter, it will be talking about the reason of the non-accepter of multi-purpose furniture. Eg. Why do some feel not connected with multi-purpose furniture? Was it the material? Or the form? Or were they unfriendly to certain group of age; for example the ones ranging from 50-70 years old. What made them not opt for multi-purpose furniture? Chapter 3 will find out more regarding this issue.
After highlighting the issues faced by multi-purpose furniture users, the conclusion of the paper will find methods of promotion to make more people select multi-purpose furniture, and also to fix issues faced in chapter 3 by stating when ,how ,what can be implied to promote the usage of multi-purpose furniture. As for the current users of multi-purpose furniture, this paper will also get their feedbacks on the usage of multi-purpose furniture, whether do they find it comfortable, user friendly or is it long lasting. All these feedbacks is important for the multi-purpose furniture designer to further improve their product to keep the customers coming back; as comfort and sustainability are the ones that would keep a firm returning line of consumers.
