Abstract

In the context of globalization and the ecological crisis, the heritage of Chinese furniture artistry faces significant challenges, including the loss of traditional craftsmanship, the distortion of cultural symbols, and an imbalance in sustainable development. This study, framed within the concept of sustainable design, combines perspectives from political ecology and the philosophy of technology to propose a systematic strategy for addressing these issues. By integrating modern technological advancements with traditional craftsmanship, reinterpreting cultural symbols through contemporary design language, and implementing sustainable design practices—such as using eco-friendly materials and optimizing production processes—this research aims to revitalize Chinese furniture artistry. The study not only provides theoretical support for the inheritance of Chinese furniture artistry but also offers practical guidance for its sustainable development, ensuring its long-term survival and relevance in modern society.
