Methodology included 'in-situ' investigations, shop testing, and six prototypes. Extensive data collection and analysis informed the final design. Participants included company members and collaborators. The knowledge gained from this research offers a new resource for national design programs, such as The Seal of Good Design boosting product recognition and sustainability impact. CHALLENGE: This project is initiated by a small, third-generation family enterprise specializing in tailor-made furniture. The aim was to craft a range of cutting-edge furniture for both local and national markets. The principal obstacles involved restructuring the company's production system and sourcing a novel material from discarded resources. The project's remote location, distanced from major distribution and commercial hubs in the region, made the matter a lot more difficult, needing resolution of logistics and transportation issues.
