產品設計近年來受到簡約風格的影響下，設計師經常將現實物體的外型簡化，萃取出具現代感的設計語言並應用於產品造形上。本創作透過觀察兒童簡化後的圖像，從中找出具有成為產品造形的符碼。

文獻首先探討原始繪畫的起源以及相關心理學上的詮釋，包含外在表徵以及視覺原始的反應，後續結合藝術治療上對於兒童繪畫發展的分析，歸納整理出兒童繪畫的特色與風格，最後整理出兒童心像的發展流程與脈絡，做為後續創作的準則。設計案例中亦分析了近年來多位設計師運用兒童繪畫特色所創造出的家具以及產品，本創作嘗試從中找出適切的兒童繪畫元素做為創作的題材，提供產品設計在簡約的外觀造形之外，亦能具有兒童繪畫般天真樸實的樣貌。

本創作成果運用不同的兒童繪畫特色，套用於家具外觀造形設計上，並以系列作品的方式呈現同一主題，增強產品背後的故事性。本創作以兩個系列，共六件作品來呈現兒童畫中蝌蚪人以及四足動物畫的特色。分別為：（一）玄關家具組(Family Furniture)，以蝌蚪人的抽象型態發產出衣帽架、玄關桌以及傘架三件家具，營造出具有擬人般的玄關家具組。（二）動物造形椅(MOCA Chair)，以典型的四足動物畫發展出兒童單椅、兒童躺椅以及雙人座長椅三款椅子，將兒童動物畫的特徵重新詮釋，產生童趣可愛的動物造型椅。

In recent years, product design has been influenced by the minimalist style; so that many designers often simplify the appearance of real objects, extract and apply objects’ outlines with modernized designing language to their own product design. By observing those simplified images from children’s drawings, the project aims at digging out those symbolic codes and applying those characteristics to product design.

The first part of the thesis discusses the origin of primitive drawings and the interpretation of related psychological theories, including the intuitive reaction to both the external representation and visual aspect. Secondarily, the thesis integrates the analysis on children’s drawing development from art therapy, and then summarizes it to a conclusion of both the style and characteristics of children’s drawing. Finally, the thesis sums up the developing process of children’s mental image as creation guidelines for the project later. During the case study of product design, the project also collects and analyzes some recent designers’ works such as furniture and products, which were originally inspired and created on the basis of children’s drawing style. The creation of the project attempts to extract appropriate theme among those children’s drawing elements, providing a product outline not only with a style of simplicity but also with the purest imagination of children’s mind.

The final design of the project applies different children’s drawing styles to the form of furniture designs; the same theme is designed in a series of presentation ways in order to enhance the story behind the design itself. The result ends up with two series of product designs; each design includes three different designing concepts with a total of six products to interpret the image characteristics of children’s drawings relating to tadpole people and four-leg animals. These series of products are: (1) Family Furniture, a set of furniture with three pieces of human-like shapes; each of them including coat rack, hallway desk and umbrella stand, inspired by the abstract human body structure called tadpole people (encephalopod), which usually appears in children’s drawings in their childhood. (2) MOCA Chair, a reinterpretation of typical drawings of four-leg animals (tetrapod) to a series of chair designs with animal features, including MOCA Chair One, MOCA Chair Two and MOCA Bench.
