Abstract

In the era of climate change and resource scarcity, sustainable furniture design faces critical challenges, including reliance on non-renewable materials, inefficient production processes, and fragmented innovation ecosystems. This study explores the synergistic potential of innovative materials and advanced technologies to address these challenges. By establishing a collaborative framework that integrates material science breakthroughs such as bio-based composites and recycled polymers with cuttingedge technologies like AI-driven design optimization and additive manufacturing, this research proposes a holistic strategy for sustainable furniture development. The study emphasizes cross-disciplinary collaboration, policy-industry-academia partnerships, and usercentric design to enhance environmental performance, economic viability, and cultural relevance. Sustainable development, ensuring its long-term survival and relevance in modern society.
