Bio Furniture and the New Age of Industry

Abstract

The industrial revolution associated with fossil fuels threatened the integrity of many ecosystems. Hence, each step forward in the industry was followed by a step backward in what done on the environmental systems. The problem lies in the following question: what is the impact of the new industrial age on the furniture industry through resources, manufacturing methods and design? The research supposed the integration between biological, technical and design sciences achieve positive effects of technical products.
It aims at shedding light on a new path of furniture design and manufacture contributes to the turn from a passive industry framework - subtractive manufacturing to a positive one according to a biodesign approach.  Meanwhile, the significance lies in the continuous need to explore consciously methods that not only increase environmental damage but also participate in the recovery process. Results declared that furniture design approaches take a revolutionary curve to free the designer from constraints imposed by traditional manufacturing methods to achieve a more dynamic world, and a new path to create a vast technological and artistic spectrum.
Therefore, recommendations assert changing the way of thinking on things not only on structures, processes and principles but also cognitive and technical revolution in nature. Moreover, biology should not focus on content, but should be in touch with the designers to capitalize on this knowledge.
