Abstract:
In this study, a new method has been introduced for the production of upholstery fabric, with a
single design feature such as designs without repetition of color features to avoid uniformity in the
furniture. In this regard, single fabric design with colors appropriate to sofa structure is considered.
The aim is to study the different upholstery fabrics and to reach the starting point for upholstery
fabric design. The design can provide feeling of relaxation and comfort for human beings. In
today’s stressful life, humans are concerned with the need to see and touch elegancy and simplicity
in their surroundings, despite the lack of diversity in upholstery fabric design that cannot fulfill
their wishes. Therefore, designs need to be consistent with the theme so that they are integrated in the field and lead the viewer’s sight to the surrounding, as if the design is ongoing.

Generally, furniture (like sofa) consists of objects that are used in the house or to decorate the house; they are made of wood, metal or soft metals and are covered with colored fabrics such as leather or plastics (Dehkhoda Dictionary).
Furniture must be designed in a way that initially it is related to human dimensions, to favorable responses and also to the provision of movement patterns and the nature of the activities.
Over time, with the introduction of Mahogany wood in the profession of carpentry, Chippendale presented patterns that were in compliance with this new wood; that was the beginning of popularity and transformation in furniture design, which was later recognized as Chippendale style.
Usually these designs are used in Jacobean and semi-Jacobean furniture; the floral patterns are divided into two categories as follows, a) Mixed and elegant flowers are woven with a variety of high quality yarns, and special carving is used for high quality sofas.
