Furniture Forms and Their Influence on Our Emotional Responses Toward Interior Environments

Furniture Forms and Their Influence on Our Emotional Responses Toward Interior Environments. Dazkir, S. S. & Read, M. A. Environment and Behavior, 44(5):722--732, September, 2012.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

The existing body of literature suggests that evoking emotions through design provides rich interactions. The authors tested Pleasure and Approach reactions of 111 participants toward two curvilinear and two rectilinear simulated interior settings. The curvilinear forms resulted in significantly stronger Pleasure ratings than the rectilinear forms. The circumplexes of emotions indicated that the curvilinear settings elicited higher amounts of pleasant-unarousing emotions (such as feeling relaxed, peaceful, and calm) than the rectilinear settings. The respondents desired to approach those settings more compared with the settings with only rectilinear lines. This research extends the empirical findings for study of emotions and forms by focusing specifically on furniture forms in the interior environment.
