| Abstract | ||
| The world is striving toward a sustainable future amid growing environmental challenges, requiring broad international cooperation. However, individuals also play a vital role by shifting consumer behaviors and adopting sustainable lifestyles. This collective effort supports sustainable development, which integrates economic, social, and environmental dimensions to ensure a better future for upcoming generations. In this context, parametric furniture design emerges as a key solution, offering innovative, adaptable, and eco-conscious alternatives that merge function, aesthetics, and sustainability. This approach enables furniture to evolve over time, extending its lifespan and reducing waste. Moreover, it aligns with the principles of the circular economy, which emphasize minimizing waste and reusing materials. This research addresses core questions such as: What are the potentials of parametric furniture design in reducing waste and extending product lifespan? And how can it support the transition to a circular economy? The study proposes that parametric furniture is among the most effective sustainable solutions to reinforce the circular economy. It aims to develop techniques that ensure the furniture remains sustainable throughout its lifecycle and to create a model for assessing the economic feasibility of investing in such designs. Using both analytical-descriptive and practical methods, the research concludes that adopting circular economy practices in handling damaged furniture opens new horizons for creativity and innovation. At the same time, it offers environmentally and economically sustainable solutions. | ||
