Triz Model Approach for Conceptualizing Household Furniture With a Disassembling Design

Abstract

This chapter is intended to present the main criteria of the systematized method to solve TRIZ inventive problems, as a tool that can be used when conceptualizing furniture for environmentally low impact homes with a design that can be disassembled. Detailed study of the TRIZ principle applicability facilitates identifying knowledge organization to solve technical problems of great difficulty, as well as creative strategical processes to answer questioning about shape, materials, interfaces, technical viability, and understanding of furniture functions. In order to strengthen the design's creative process, application of the 4 properties to determine easiness of disassembling are considered, as proposed by Johansson and Björkman, which are 1. identification easiness; 2. accessibility; 3. separation easiness; and 4. handling easiness; likewise, contextual and conceptual analysis is considered for the beginning, development and conclusion of the project.
