“…The LiDS wheel was selected as it is widely used in sustainability studies and eco-product design and could be adapted to be used with conceptual products, rather than finished or already existing ones. (Puthenpurackal 2008, Vidal et al 2015, Vicente et al 2017. Life cycle design strategies frequently include the impact on the external environment, and address contemporary issues related to growth (Fain et al 2017, França et al 2017.…”

“…Previous studies have emphasized how sustainability consciousness in the wooden furniture industry is essential to reduce the 10 million tonnes of furniture that is discarded to landfill each year [1,2,[10][11][12][13][14]. As a result, sustainability has become a trend in design decisions, including those in wood-based industries [1].…”

A Review on Sustainability Characteristics Development for Wooden Furniture Design

et al. 2022

The design of furniture products is influenced by increasing consumer interest in green products and sustainability values. However, although the demand for sustainable furniture products is high, the standardization of sustainability characteristics in furniture design has still not been achieved. A thorough literature review was conducted, which considered various sustainability characteristics that apply in industries that design furniture. This review paper aimed to identify common sustainability characteristics so that a new standard for furniture industries can be established. In this review, numerous themes were explored relating to design guidelines, design criteria, design preferences, design optimization, design evaluation and assessment, design decision making, strategic planning, design strategies, the integration of eco-design, and eco-design tools. A total of 137 articles were reviewed regarding their sustainability characteristics according to the triple bottom-line framework for a relevant product sector. Due to the limited reports on the sustainability characteristics of furniture design activities, this paper also tried to include common sustainability characteristics of non-furniture products that are available on the market. Through the review, 10 sustainability characteristics were identified for the environment, 17 for the economy, and 16 for the social dimension as being common among manufacturers when designing their products. A further in-depth analysis was conducted by mapping the characteristics to those that were significantly implemented in the design process, of which five (5) were environmental, two (2) were economic, and five (5) were social sustainability characteristics. This review is significant in helping furniture designers to use appropriate and effective sustainability standards in the design and manufacture of products that meet customers’ demands. Previous literature reviews have not clearly measured the triple bottom line. Furthermore, no definite characteristics were proposed in previous works regarding wooden furniture design, leaving a gap to be closed by future works.

“…The philosophy area in sustainable design complies to the principle that a product in process or development must respect the needs of current and future generations, be energy efficient in natural resource management, have cost-effective sustainable solutions, and be simple to maintain. As a result, it is critical to integrate environmental knowledge in order to achieve sustainable production and consumption patterns [12]. Another critical component is increased efficiency in the use of energy and material resources, which must be achieved by the design process and product system design in order to be sustainable.…”

In terms of sustainable design philosophy, the goal of this study is to describe the fulfillment of economic principles through furniture made from Pandanus fiber. Respecting the needs of current and future generations, energy efficiency, cost-effective and sustainable solutions, and easy product maintenance are all areas of sustainable design philosophy. The qualitative research method was used. The findings of this study show that chair furniture made from Pandan fiber satisfies both economic and philosophical principles of sustainable design, because the manufacturing and processing of waste do not incur high costs due to the lack of heavy equipment, machinery, or chemicals used in the management process. On the contrary, the resulting product is strong and long-lasting.
