In real life, there are often inconsistencies and contradictions between indoor space conditions and the types and quantities of furniture. These contradictions have prompted hotel furniture designers to change some inherent concepts and thinking methods in the limited indoor space in order to meet people’s demand for furniture use, and often design some unique and novel furniture. For example, modular furniture was born in Germany after the First World War. The apartment suites built in Germany after the First World War could not accommodate the single furniture that was previously placed in the large room, so the Bauhaus factory specialized in producing apartment furniture designed for these apartments. This kind of apartment furniture is made of plywood as the main material, and parts with a certain modulus relationship are produced, and they are assembled and combined into units. The modular furniture designed by Shost in Frankfurt in 1927 was combined into multi-purpose furniture with a small number of units, thus solving the requirements for furniture varieties in small spaces. The designer’s research and understanding of the concept of environment is the catalyst for the birth of new varieties of furniture. Let’s turn to the history of furniture development and take a look. The development of the furniture industry is a process in which many art masters have devoted themselves to studying furniture design theory and conducting design practice. Whether it is Chippendale, Sheraton, Hepplewhite in the UK, or a group of architectural masters such as the Bauhaus in Germany, they all put exploration, research and design in the first place. They have both design theory and design practice, and thus designed many excellent works that are suitable for that era and needed by people. China’s current hotel furniture industry is still in the stage of mass production and high imitation. To cater to the growing high-level needs of the public, designers are urgently needed to improve their design awareness. They must not only uphold the characteristics of traditional Chinese furniture, reflect Chinese culture and local characteristics in the design, but also meet the needs of all levels and different age groups, so as to meet the functional needs of the public for different furniture, and meet the taste pursuit of furniture by people at different levels, seek simplicity in complexity, seek refinement in simplicity, and better adapt to the needs of the hotel furniture market. Therefore, improving the overall level and design awareness of designers is a problem that we urgently need to solve at present, and it is the fundamental solution to the crux of the current furniture industry. In summary, in the face of the complex furniture design concepts, it is crucial to grasp the dominance and diversity of design concepts. When designing hotel furniture, we are faced with functional requirements and a lot of design materials related to them. Among the myriad of things, the most important thing is to deal with a certain design concept that best reflects the design intention and make it dominant. For example, the furniture company founded by Michael Sonne in Germany has always been committed to the core of bent wood furniture. After solving a series of technical difficulties, it has achieved success. The concept of design is dominant, but not single. It is often a combination of several concepts intertwined and integrated to have diversity. The core is to have functional requirements for use, meet the original intention of design and exist with its own specific meaning. Repeating the furniture shape that has existed in history (except for copying masterpieces) is not the direction of modern furniture design. Design should meet new living conditions, living environment and functional requirements to design many different styles, styles and grades of hotel furniture.
