Aesthetically, The Design Elements Of The Hardware Handle
Jun 22, 2022
Hardware handles are practical and decorative furniture accessories, but their primary purpose is to meet the requirements of use. Such as vertical and horizontal linear handles, point-shaped handles of various shapes, as well as various forms of handles such as concave pull-rings, each of which varies according to the different requirements of furniture design. But it can be seen that they all have the same function of moving, pulling and so on. Almost every cabinet, cabinet, box, drawer and other storage spaces must be equipped with handles. Therefore, the functional requirements should be the basic elements considered in the design of the handle. Materials and craftsmanship are the material and technical conditions for designing the handle. The continuous emergence of new materials and new processes of furniture hardware has a great impact on the design. The furniture handles are basically made of wood except for some copper and steel in the removal part, and some simple lines are hand-carved on the decoration, some are completely light, and some are made of wood to meet the structural strength The handle inevitably requires to be made thick and wide, and its form is bound to be limited.
The decorative art of furniture handles is another element that must be considered in the design. Because the furniture handle is not only practical, but also becomes a decoration of the furniture shape, which directly affects the performance of the furniture design. Therefore, properly using handles of different shapes in furniture design and making full use of their decorative properties in the facade treatment can enrich the facade changes of the furniture, and make the furniture achieve a more significant artistic effect to achieve the finishing touch. In the specific treatment, since the handles are mostly installed on the furniture facade, the shadow, color and material contrast formed by the handle and the facade directly affect the furniture decoration effect, so the handle decoration design can generally be handled from the front. Such as light and shadow bring depth, enhance the three-dimensional effect, and give a rich feeling to the furniture facade.
With the development of science and technology, the application of new materials (such as zinc alloys, plastics), new processes (such as die casting, injection molding, plastic electroplating), as well as the emergence of new technologies and new equipment (such as electric pulse, EDM), give Design and mold processing have created favorable conditions, making the type and style of furniture decorative hardware handles a new one.
In addition, in terms of the contrast of color and material texture of furniture handles, from the two aspects of intuition and use, it needs to be well used when designing hardware handles. As modern furniture shapes tend to develop in a concise direction, so in the design must not pursue too much carving, but should seek elegance from the concise form, so that the handle shape is smooth and straight.
