A chair with armrests is an important object required by aged people for sitting, when their physical strength decline gradually. Users’ emotions can be evoked by touching material of the armrest. This study attempts to explore aged people’s emotional responses as evoked by interaction with materials on armrests. An experiment was conducted to explore emotional responses evoked by touching six different materials of a armrest between aged people and young adults. The results indicate that a chair’s armrests made from fabric can enhance users’ pleasure senses better, as compared with the other five materials. The result also showed that aged people were willing to give a higher mean score on pleasure than young adults were.
