This research considers the ecosystem services associated with furniture, one of the leading types of secondary wood products manufactured internationally. We review and synthesize the literature surrounding the sustainable design, use, and disposition of wood furniture and related products in global markets. We consider emerging and innovative design strategies for wood (in biomimicry, for example) as well as topics that have been gaining traction in recent years (i.e., green supply chain management and eco/environmental labels and related market communications). An overarching theme is to consider how firm competitiveness can be influenced, or even enhanced, by green practices in design and associated communications with consumers. With a trend toward increasing customization in the secondary wood product marketplace, the role of design might be changing. However, design remains a critical product development function in modern markets, and designers are well-positioned to influence sustainable material utilization and improve furniture product use and lifespan.

家具设计中的可持续实践:关于定制,仿生,竞争力和产品传播的文献研究

这项研究考虑了与家具相关的生态系统服务,家具是国际上生产的主要次要木质产品之一。我们回顾和综合有关全球市场中木制家具及相关产品的可持续设计,使用和处置的文献。我们考虑木材的新兴和创新设计策略(例如,仿生学)以及近年来受到关注的主题(例如,绿色供应链管理,生态/环境标签和相关的市场沟通)。一个首要主题是考虑设计中的绿色实践以及与消费者的相关沟通如何影响甚至增强公司竞争力。随着二手木制品市场中越来越多的定制化趋势,设计的角色可能正在改变。但是,设计在现代市场中仍然是至关重要的产品开发功能,设计人员处于有利位置,可以影响可持续的材料利用并改善家具产品的使用和使用寿命。
