Abstract
In the new global economy, furniture design has become a central issue for the home user. Recent development in furniture constructions have height indicated the need for better ways on assembly activities with expectation to minimize the lead time of manufacturing. Metal furniture has some limitations in fabrication and assembly that requires space and cost. Therefore Knock-down furniture method is the most efficient to save space and cost. This paper proposes the new method of Knock-down furniture with comparative studies to the existing method of the build up furniture. The main task of this research is to innovate the common design on Knock-down system and interlocking design in local metal furniture manufacturer. The research conducted focuses on one of the metal furniture manufacturers in West coast of Malaysia. The finding shows that a few aspects of the furniture design can be fulfilled by utilizing the Knock-down method. Study also shows that current design on metal cabinet used by local furniture manufacturer can be improvised to reduce time and cost in assembling the metal cabinet. This paper proposes a new method of Knock-down design improvements and guidelines for Knock–down system and interlock design in designing metal cabinet.
