Alternative Construction Materials for Furniture Production

摘要

The present article of ecological design is created and applied to the furniture sector, which until recently was considered one of the most anti-ecological industries. In the article, the following phenomena of the manufacturing and realization of ecological products, which have become the crucial starting points in the creation of furniture designs from natural fibres, are analysed: proper usage of structural materials and fittings for furniture production, increase of energy efficiency, optimization of transport services, promotion of local materials and local production, and assurance that the product will be utilized safely or reused. This is a new niche of ecological design, a missing link in the chain of growing and processing fibrous materials and the synergy of various industries, agriculture and even medicine.
