Abstract

In the process of global urbanization and sustainable development, urban public spaces face dual challenges of cultural identity dissolution and ecological and social efficiency deficiency. As a key public interface, existing urban furniture design research is difficult to systematically respond to the complex demands of "locality" reshaping due to the theoretical disconnection of cultural, ecological, and social dimensions. To fill this gap, this article innovatively couples emotional design, local theory, and sustainable design through critical literature review and theoretical deduction, constructing a three-dimensional collaborative urban furniture design framework of "culture ecology society". The core of this framework lies in expanding and establishing emotional design (instinct, behavior, and reflection) as a core transmission mechanism, effectively connecting cultural memory inheritance, ecological environment friendliness, and social community construction, thereby redefining urban furniture from a functional "facility" to an "emotional medium" and "flexible governance tool" that carries local spirit and promotes sustainable development. This study not only provides an integrated analytical tool and practical paradigm for urban furniture design, but also contributes to a interdisciplinary design philosophy that emphasizes humanistic care and systematic thinking for the sustainable renewal of a wider range of living environments.
