Abstract: This thesis explores eco-conscious furniture design, specifically focusing on the utilization of cardboard layering to create environmentally friendly seating. The research begins by examining the environmental impact of the furniture industry and emphasizes the importance of adopting circular economy principles. In this research, sustainable materials for furniture production are explored, with an emphasis on cardboard as a viable and eco-friendly alternative. The study investigates employing cardboard in furniture design, highlighting its versatility. It also showcases practical examples of parametric design principles in the furniture industry. The thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of the design process, materials, layering, and construction techniques employed in crafting a full-scale cardboard chair for this project. The evaluation of the design process includes assessing its effectiveness while considering the challenges and limitations involved. The research concludes by presenting future research directions, emphasizing the ongoing need for exploration and innovation in eco-conscious furniture design. Ultimately underscores the significance of achieving a sustainable and environmentally responsible furniture industry.
