- Historical & cultural factor
- Aesthetic consideration
The problem solving technique that is based on the principle of free association and gives no restriction to imagination
Intuitive technique
Type of intuitive technique that may increase awareness on the problem by making it worse
Inversion
Type of intuitive technique makes you associate it with something else, preferably something familiar
Description by association

Bionics
Type of logical technique that redefines the problem first to an underlying more basic problem and then split up into its elements or subproblems
Morphology
Type of logical technique that will have higher level of success by splitting up into more minute sub-problems until the while problems has become a network of interrelated problems
Problem area analysis and functional analysis
Type of logical technique that thinks about the function it will perform
Functional visualization
Technique that makes use of the basic outline of the furniture as a grid and variations on form are performed
Structural form development
Technique that makes use of previous designs as basis for improvements; continuous development of small changes is applied to arrive at a more interesting term
Morphological form development
Technique that makes variations on geometric forms - size, shape, color, proportion, mass, number, or arrangement to spark new ideas
Geometrical from development
Technique that makes use of nature as inspiration for fresh and exciting ideas
Form development based on nature
Technique that is based on various sources other than nature
