This paper provides an in-depth study of the interaction between the art of furniture design and literati aesthetics in contemporary society as well as the trend of secularization of aesthetic concepts. The traditional literati aesthetic advocates the elegance and indifference of Confucian culture, however, in contemporary society, this concept is facing a shift. Furniture design, as a combination of art and practicality, has become a medium for the mutual integration of traditional aesthetics and modern lifestyles. Through case studies and empirical analyses, this paper dissects the performance of furniture design in the secularization of aesthetics and how it carries the connotation of literati aesthetics.
