Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has made several major breakthroughs in recent years, and intelligent furniture also integrates AI related technologies and ideas. Thus, a new concept of smart family and smart life is proposed. Furniture plays an important role in the life of the elderly, which is the basic factor to ensure the life safety and health of the elderly. The physiological function of the elderly decreases with age, and their psychological status also changes. Therefore, their requirements for furniture in terms of function, safety, and economy differ greatly from those of ordinary people. Therefore, conducting scientific and reasonable research on antique furniture design is necessary.
Scholars have conducted extensive research on the design of age-appropriate furniture. Taifa and Desai (2017) noted that as people age, their physical and cognitive capacities diminish. Therefore, furniture must be safe enough to promote the elderly elderly's wellbeing and instill a sense of security. According to the physical condition of the elderly, they appropriately adjusted the furniture size to ensure their safety. Yao et al. (2017) raised whether the design of aging furniture could attract customers. The comfort of furniture was the attraction of users. According to the physical condition of the elderly, they properly adjusted the size of furniture to make it more comfortable, which was conducive to the health of the elderly. Allahdadi (2017) determined that most of the elderly’s furniture was designed traditionally through the study of furniture design standards, which could not highlight the personality of the elderly and fulfill their psychological needs. Therefore, paying attention to personalized design from different aspects such as style, form, function, and so on, is necessary, wherein the elderly can truly understand the characteristics of this type of furniture, gain due respect, and feel the concern of society and family. Fu et al. (2021) found that the older the elderly, the slower the action and reaction. Traditional furniture design brought inconvenience to the elderly. Therefore, adding some humanized design suitable for the elderly in the home is extremely necessary. It should not only add humanized design to the size of furniture, but also consider the design of a smart home to improve the user experience of the elderly. Beer et al. (2017) proposed that smart home design should also be simplified because of the decline in memory and responsiveness of the elderly. Therefore, when designing furniture for the elderly, it is necessary to take the humanized closing ring as the basis and the intelligent development as the demand. The psychological and physiological characteristics of the elderly are combined to achieve aging adaptation and intellectualization.
