There are significant differences between kindergarten furniture and ordinary furniture in many aspects, which are mainly reflected in design, function, safety and material selection. The following is a detailed comparison between the two:
Design style
Kindergarten furniture: Usually the design style is more lively and vivid, with rich colors and diverse shapes. For example, furniture will be designed into the shape of animals, plants, etc., or some interesting elements and colors will be added to stimulate children's imagination and creativity, attract their attention and interest
Ordinary furniture: The design style is more diverse, covering modern simplicity, European classical, Chinese traditional and other styles to meet the aesthetic and home decoration needs of different groups of people. Its design mainly considers the coordination with the overall home environment and the use habits and aesthetic preferences of adults
Functional requirements
Kindergarten furniture: It needs to meet the diverse activity needs of young children such as learning, playing, and resting, so the functional requirements are relatively high. For example, it will be equipped with furniture with various functions, such as desks and chairs suitable for children's height, lockers for easy organization and storage of items, toy racks for displaying toys, and beds for children to take a nap, etc.
Ordinary furniture: The function is mainly to meet people's basic needs in daily life, such as sitting, lying, storage, dining, office, etc. Although it also focuses on functionality, it does not need to consider the special needs of specific age groups like Kindergarten furniture
Material selection
Kindergarten furniture: Usually non-toxic, odorless, and environmentally friendly materials such as wood and plastic are selected to ensure the health of children. In addition, in order to satisfy children's curiosity and desire to explore, the materials of Kindergarten furniture also need to have a certain degree of firmness and durability.
Ordinary furniture: The material selection is relatively wider, including solid wood, metal, glass, artificial board, etc. Different materials have their own characteristics and advantages, such as solid wood furniture is natural and environmentally friendly, with good texture; metal furniture is strong and durable, with a strong sense of modernity; artificial board furniture is more affordable, etc.
Safety performance
Kindergarten furniture: Safety requirements are very strict. The edges and corners of furniture are usually processed as rounded as possible to avoid being too sharp and causing injuries to young children; materials are also mostly impact-resistant and not easy to break to prevent children from accidental injuries when playing
Ordinary furniture: Although safety is also an important consideration, for adults, the safety risk is relatively low, so the safety standards in terms of edge processing are not as high as those of Kindergarten furniture
Size specifications
Kindergarten furniture: The size needs to be customized according to the height and body shape of the child to ensure that the child can use it comfortably. For example, the height of the desks and chairs, the size of the bed, etc. must meet the physical characteristics of the child to avoid affecting the child's physical development and comfort due to inappropriate size
Ordinary Furniture: The size is designed according to the adult's body size and usage habits. It is generally more universal, but there are also different specifications to choose from to adapt to different spaces and personal needs
Use environment
Kindergarten furniture: Mainly used in various areas of kindergartens, such as classrooms, activity rooms, nap rooms, etc., it needs to adapt to the collective life and teaching activities of kindergartens, so the design and layout should take into account the rational use of space and the convenience of children's activities
Ordinary furniture: Used in various places such as homes, offices, hotels, etc., different places have different requirements and usage methods for furniture, but generally to meet the living, working and resting needs of adults in different environments
