“…Design for the Environment (DfE) involves giving consideration to both economic and environmental influences during the design process (Kim, 2010;Ramani et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2011). More specifically, a DfE orientation involves meeting five criteria or goals: choosing ecological materials, extending the life cycle of the product within the design, increasing recyclability, minimizing environmental damage in disposal, and calculating energy waste in production and distribution, which are considered during both product design and product evaluation (Kim, 2010).…”

“…DfE approaches to textile and apparel design include: cradle to cradle (Gam et al 2009), design for disassembly (Gam et al 2011), slow design (Clark, 2008), and green fashion design (Kim, 2010). Much of the prior research examining DfE approaches to textile and apparel design has involved model building and prototyping.…”

“…More recently, researchers have linked decisions made during the design process to the financial and environmental impacts of products (Ramani et al, 2010), and have begun to examine the relationship between design, production, and sustainability (McDonough and Braungart, 2002). This includes the role that designers play in the development of textile and apparel products and the possibility that design processes may enhance the environmental sustainability of such products (Kim, 2010;Fuad-Luke, 2009;Margolin, 2007;Ramani et al, 2010;Stegall, 2006). To date, however, researchers have not fully explored the role that designers play in the development of interior textiles, which includes decorative items in the home such as, bedding, pillows, upholstery and rugs, or how the development of these textiles may be influenced by designers' concerns for human health and the environment.…”

“…Design for the Environment (DfE), a term introduced in the 1990s, refers to a shift in product development and planning methods/processes wherein both environmental and economic factors guide the direction of design decisions (Kim, 2010;Ramani et al, 2010;Yang et al 2011). DfE reflects an emerging perspective that designers can act as instruments of social change by reducing the negative impact that products have on human health and the environment through decisions related to raw material selection, manufacturing methods, and product use, care, and disposal (Kim, 2010;Fuad-Luke, 2009;Ramani et al, 2010;Stegall, 2006).…”

Despite the negative impacts that interior textiles often have on human health and the environment, as well as how decisions made during the design process may lessen these impacts, to date there are few published studies on the processes of professional designers engaged in creating textile products, including interior textiles, or whether such processes involve the integration of DfE-oriented approaches to design.…”

This study examined the processes involved in the design of interior textile products, with emphasis upon processes undertaken by designers' who are committed to a Design for the Environment (DfE) orientation. Handfield et al. (IEEE TEM 48:189-208, 2001) model of product design and development provided a context by which to explore inclusion of environmental performance criteria within the design process. Data were collected through interviews with twelve professional designers of interior textile products. Analyses revealed six themes or stages in the design process for interior textile products: resources and research, consumer need and trend identification, inspiration, creative exploration, product samples, and design completion. DfE-oriented designers and conventional designers did not differ in their narratives regarding design process however, the focus and scope of decision-making within each theme or stage allowed for an additional component to the DfE-oriented design and development process of interior textile products.

Fast fashion and fast furnishings contribute to the unsustainability of the textile industry in multiple ways, and the deleterious impacts of fast furnishings, in particular, have encouraged some companies to embrace more holistic and sustainable approaches to interior textile design. As such, the purpose of this study was to explore designers' perspectives on if and how decisions made during the design process for interior textiles may impact human health and the environment throughout the product life cycle, and if and how these decisions may be influenced by the engagement with and/or responsibilities toward stakeholders. This research was informed by multiple frameworks, including the design for the environment (DfE), product life cycle assessment (LCA), and stakeholder theory. Data were collected using an interpretive, qualitative research method that involved in-depth interviews with 12 US designers/design managers who specialize in the development of residential and/or commercial interior textiles. Findings revealed that participants demonstrated professional understanding of human health and environmental issues during the preliminary stages of the life cycle, including raw material selection, textile fabrication, and finishes and treatments, whereas understanding of such issues at the later stages of the life cycle (packaging and transportation, consumer care, and post use) tended to be more theoretical rather than strategic. Findings also revealed differences among designers employed by DfE-oriented companies and designers employed at more conventional companies with respect to their apparent understanding of how decisions made during the design process may impact human health and the environment throughout the product life cycle. This research contributes to our understanding of the role that designers may play in mitigating the negative impacts of interior textiles throughout the product life cycle. A limitation of this study is the size of the sample; conclusions are based upon the insights gained from 12 designers of interior textile products, and thus may not be generalizable to all designers/companies in the residential and/or commercial interior textile industry.
