In modern urban life, individuals are spending an increasing amount of time in the office. However, working in an uncomfortable office space for extended periods can affect the physical and mental health of employees. On this basis, it is particularly important for employees to build a comfortable and healthy office environment that is conducive to their work. The present study aimed to explore the use of wood in office furniture to build a comfortable and healthy work environment. The use of wood in office spaces can effectively relieve the mental fatigue of employees. Focusing on wooden office furniture, this study explores its influence on the aesthetic evaluation of wooden office spaces by manipulating the wood color and coverage of the wooden furniture placed in office spaces. Experimenting with these changes will optimize the application of wood in office spaces, improve employees' mental health. The results show that wood color and coverage significantly impact the aesthetic evaluation of wooden office spaces. People exhibit higher aesthetic evaluations of light and medium wood-colored office spaces and prefer spaces with low wood coverage. The findings of this study provide a reference for the use of wooden furniture to optimize workplaces.
在现代城市生活中，人们在办公室花费的时间越来越多。然而，长时间在不舒适的办公空间工作会影响员工的身心健康。在此基础上，为员工营造一个舒适、健康且有利于工作的办公环境就显得尤为重要。本研究旨在探讨在办公家具中使用木材来打造舒适、健康的工作环境。在办公空间中使用木材可以有效缓解员工的精神疲劳。本研究聚焦于木质办公家具，通过操控办公空间中放置的木质家具的木材颜色和覆盖面积，探索其对木质办公空间美学评价的影响。对这些变化进行实验将优化木材在办公空间中的应用，改善员工的心理健康。结果表明，木材颜色和覆盖面积对木质办公空间的美学评价有显著影响。人们对浅色和中等颜色木材的办公空间表现出更高的美学评价，并且更喜欢木材覆盖面积低的空间。本研究结果为使用木质家具优化工作场所提供了参考。
