A unique and comprehensive resource for student and professional
furniture designers, providing in-depth answers to their questions
about aesthetics, function, materials, manufacturing and
sustainability. In this second edition Stuart Lawson emphasizes the
principles of a circular economy and what this means for furniture
design and consumption. He considers the latest technological
developments such as 3-D printing and the use of innovative materials
such as bioplastics. He also examines the capabilities and potential of
CAD-based design optimization, AI and machine learning-driven
generative design processes.
The book features case studies on pioneering, contemporary and
historical designers and includes an illustrated directory of materials
and manufacturing processes.
Furniture Design is a comprehensive guide and resource for students
and furniture designers. As well as discussing pioneering
contemporary and historical designs, it also provides substantive
answers to designers' questions about function, materials,
manufacture and sustainability, integrating guidance on all of
these subjects - particularly material and manufacturing
properties, in one accessible and structured volume. Many leading
contemporary furniture designers from around the world are
included, with case studies carefully selected to highlight the
importance of both material and manufacture-led design processes.
The book is also intended to provide an insight into furniture
design for those considering a university education in product and
industrial design.
