Abstract

See full text

A process for designing an arrangement of furniture pieces from a predetermined system of furniture. The process can be initiated by selecting a predetermined thought starter shape or can be started by designing a beginning shape by selecting furniture element shapes from the system of furniture and combining them to form a basic shape. Once the basic shape has been selected, it can be modified, expanded, contracted, and replicated as desired within implementable increments consistent with the system of furniture. The program highlights where storage, privacy and electrical elements can be placed. At any time the finish, color, and fabric to be used can be determined. An updated cost and bill of materials is provided on the completion of each step of the design process including color, fabric and finishes.
