| Popis: | 107 Upcycling design seeks solutions to repurpose existing furniture with new spatial, aesthetic, or functional values, which provides both financial and environmental benefits. However, design and ideation for furniture upcycling is extremely hard for most people in the current maker community without a strong design background. In this paper, we present Upcycle-Chic, a design and visualization environment that allows a user to view possible upcycling solutions for a given piece of old furniture and explore varying design variations. These possible solutions are generated based on design strategies drawn from over 1000 examples on web and books shared by professionals and hobbyist furniture makers. Through a design competition and a DIY workshop, we demonstrated the effectiveness and usefulness of Upcycle-Chic in helping novice designers come up with insightful design solutions. |
