Class Description

Description

Traditionally the word furniture refers to movable objects intended to support various human activities. It can be a product of design and is considered a form of decorative art – an art or craft concerned with the design and manufacture of beautiful objects that are also functional. 

In addition to furniture's functional role, it can serve a symbolic, religious, or sculptural purpose that has no practical application other than to be seen. Developments in materials, processes, and manufacturing have sparked new trends in furniture design. 



This seminar course focuses on the issues that influence forward thinking furniture design including:
  • ergonomics (human factors) and anthropometrics (human dimensions), 
  • innovative materials such as carbon fiber, polymers and elastomers,
  • non-polluting technologies and certified materials, 
  • interactive electronics, 
  • re-purposed materials and objects. 

Key furniture resources such as manufacturers, showrooms, and suppliers are explored.
