Abstract

The rapid development of technology highlights the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and furniture design. As in many disciplines, there are different artificial intelligence tools used in the field of design. The study focuses on three widely used AI tools; Midjourney, DALL-E and Leonardo AI, and the ability of these tools to produce furniture variations was evaluated specifically for the context of office chair design. The research examines and compares the design outputs produced by different AI tools using identical conceptual data inputs defined for office chair design. The design outputs obtained by different artificial intelligence tools of the conceptual expressions entered as design data were examined within the framework of function, user profile, form/structure/material, comfort (adjustability, lumbar support and armrests) and aesthetics (visual balance, color, texture, etc.) elements. The findings reveal that artificial intelligence technologies are not only supportive instruments but also positioned as an active component of the creative process. In this context, it is envisaged that artificial intelligence tools encourage the production of innovative solutions, as in traditional design processes that evolve through conceptual data and are anticipated to become one of the fundamental components of the design discipline in the future.

Özet

Teknolojinin hızlı gelişimi yapay zekâ ve mobilya tasarımı ilişkisini ön plana çıkarmaktadır. Birçok disiplinde olduğu gibi tasarım disiplininde de kullanılan farklı yapay zekâ araçları bulunmaktadır. Araştırmada en yaygın kullanıma sahip olan; Midjourney, DALL·E ve Leonardo AI araçları seçilerek, bu araçların mobilya varyasyon üretme becerileri çalışma koltuğu tasarımı özelinde değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma farklı yapay zekâ araçlarında çalışma koltuğu tasarımı için tanımlanan kavramsal verilerin değiştirilmeden farklı yapay zekâ araçlarında kullanımıyla elde edilen tasarım çıktılarının analizine odaklanmaktadır. Tasarım verileri olarak girilen kavramsal ifadelerin farklı yapay zekâ araçları tarafından elde edilen tasarım çıktıları; işlev, kullanıcı profili, biçim/strüktür/malzeme, konfor (ayarlanabilirlik, bel desteği ve kolçak) ve estetik (görsel denge, renk, doku, vb.) unsurlar çerçevesinde irdelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin yalnızca destekleyici değil, aynı zamanda yaratıcı sürecin aktif bir bileşeni olarak konumlandığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda, yapay zekâ araçlarının, kavramsal verilerle ilerleyen geleneksel tasarım süreçlerinde olduğu gibi, yenilikçi çözümler üretmeyi teşvik ettiği ve gelecekte tasarım disiplininin temel bileşenlerinden biri haline geleceği öngörülmektedir.
