流理臺之機能為烹調（Cooking）、廢棄物處理（Waste Disposal）和儲存 （ Storage ）。其設計觀念自始即為：第一代標準製造（ Standard Made ），亦即產品〞 接近〞不同的廚房。 第二代量身製造（ Special Made ），亦即量產部品（ Parts ）加上 特別製造之部份零件； 達到完全適合於個別廚房之不同需求。 但基本上， 其組織觀念（ Cabinet Structure ）為箱型構成，並固定於廚房之模式。本研究以人體工學之「操作需求 」底觀點。以觀察法與經驗法，質疑固定組裝之當然性與合理性。進而以〞可活動之儲存裝 置〞為第三代流理臺之基本觀念，研究新的組織架構，發展富有彈性之新流理臺雛型。

　　　　　The functions of kitchen desk are cooking, waste disposal and storage. The previous designing concepts were: 1. The formation of the 1 st generation-Standard Made Series in which the product units nearly fit to kitchens. 2. The installation of the 2nd generation-Special Made Series, in which the product unit is fully adjustable to kitchens. Basically, the foundation of the design was the model of the assembling of boxes for the fixture against the kitchen wall. This study objects the certainty of fixed installation from the point of view of human body's organic requirements. Instead, it provides a new idea of "adjustable storage device". Furthermore, it uses such idea as a foundation to develop a new movable and flexible basis for the kitchen desk.
