Abstract

It is widely acknowledged that the furniture industry has a significant environmental impact and is one of the vital sectors for improving sustainability. However, there is a lack of comprehensive, scientifically-based, furniture-specific knowledge and know-how, including a theoretical framework, approaches, methods and tools, to guide the furniture industry toward greater sustainability. A growing international scientific community is working to fill the gap. This PhD research is framed into this research area focusing on Life Cycle Design (LCD) and Sustainable Product-Service System Design (S.PSSD). The LeNS network¹1 Learning Network on Sustainability is an international open and multipolar network to diffuse Design for Sustainability., which includes nearly 150 design Universities distributed worldwide, is the primary scientific community for reference. The research aims to develop furniture-specific knowledge and know-how to support the Sustainable Furniture System Design (SFSD).

摘要

众所周知，家具行业对环境有重大影响，是提高可持续发展的重要部门之一。然而，缺乏全面的、基于科学的、针对家具的知识和技能，包括理论框架、途径、方法和工具，来指导家具行业实现更大的可持续性。不断壮大的国际科学界正在努力填补这一空白。这项博士研究属于该研究领域，重点关注生命周期设计（LCD）和可持续产品服务系统设计（S.PSSD）。LeNS 网络¹1 可持续发展学习网络是一个国际开放的多极网络，旨在传播可持续发展设计。包括分布在全球的近150所设计大学，是可供参考的主要科学界。该研究旨在开发特定于家具的知识和技术，以支持可持续家具系统设计（SFSD）。
