Abstract

Ming-style furniture belongs to Chinese traditional furniture, which refers to the simple and artistic furniture from late Ming dynasty to early Qing dynasty approximately. Ming-style furniture is the elite of Chinese traditional furniture, which is also doing well in human factors engineering, although theoretical research of human beings factors engineering lagged far behind in ancient China, until it was introduced into China. Ming-style furniture has sculptural form and vigorous curve, which is the result of the consideration of human factors engineering. Especially Ming-style chairs express comfort and consideration all over. Based on the study of Ming-style furniture, the practice of human factors engineering in Ming-style furniture is summarized, which is meaningful for the design of Chinese traditional furniture to develop ergonomics.
