Abstract

The demand for sustainable and eco-friendly design practices has been increasing in recent years, and the furniture industry is no exception. Upholstery sofas are popular furniture made with synthetic or natural fabrics, which can have a significant environmental impact. As a result, there is a need for innovative and sustainable solutions for the production of upholstery sofas. This thesis explores using recycled fabrics as an alternative material for upholstery sofa fabrication. This research aims to identify innovative design elements and principles for using recycled fabrics in upholstery sofa manufacturing, as well as evaluate their practicality and feasibility.
