This research is a comprehensive investigation of the profound significance of traditional Chinese elements, in fact, peony frenzy patterns, to modern furniture design. The study, which extensively investigates the topic of cultural heritage preservation, modern design integration, and youth engagement, among other things, based on peony fractal motifs in Chinese art and furniture depicts the historical connotation, cultural importance, and practical value. The studies combine qualitative and qualitative methodologies involving literature review, questionnaire survey and case studies. In the end, the competing influence of the two elements, tradition and modernity, for furniture designing is drawn out from the research. The outlined evidence reveals that embracing cultural learning and forging connections between designers and cultural institutions helps to trend-proof traditional motifs into modern designs. Finally, this research project contributes to a fundamental insight regarding the importance of designing furniture that has traditional cultural features not only brings more life to contemporary furniture but also guarantees the passing on of the Chinese cultural legacy in the modern context.
