碩士 === 高雄師範大學 === 工業設計學系 === 98 === Wood has always been the main material and important role in the furniture industry on account of its advantages like natural textures、elegant colors、cozy touch、nice and warm、recycling and reuse. Nowadays, under the conscious of global warming, green technology and design, people try every possibility to let some of living products back to initial materials and try not to use polluting ones. However, wood has the individual character and fascination so that human beings could coexist with nature. Most of furniture manufacturers only pay attention to the cost, shape, technique but often ignore people’s purchases affected by the vision of grain patterns. This study chooses appropriate adjectives for grain patterns upon the appearance of wood, carry on the expert questionnaire survey with mortise-tenon joints related to grain patterns. Sampling the students with design background to comprehend the most nature factors of wood materials by using Descriptive Statistical、factor analysis、One-way ANOVA、Statistical Methodology, enhance practicality of both traditional furniture and modern ones, show economic value added of entire appearance and vision. The experiment comprises six combinations which are composed of three materials（Chamaecyparis taiwanesis Masam、teakwood、pine）and each of them has same structure. From the analysis of result, these six combinations have significant difference in different materials and adjectives. This study turns the relationship between users’ identification and three materials into charting according to the scores by users. The results could provide consultations for design and also development and research for woody materials in the future.
