Design of seating element supporting the positive psychological effects on humans is the content of this thesis. The thesis is devided into two parts. The first part is theoretical, where basic informations about ergonomics, psychological aspects of seating and design development are arranged. Before proposing was need to do survey of current trends and products with a similar nature, according to typology, and according to the material. The second part "The design" describes proces of designing, which is supplemented by research pictures, sketches, models and visualizations. The final design of the seating element is demonstrated by visualizations and pictures of prototype 1:1.

In this final thesis which is focused on contemporary upholstering technology, the proposal for the production of upholstered chair with extended seating area is presented. In the theoretical part, the author describes the historical development of long chairs, ergonomics of a sitting in a long chair and technology of upholstering. Subsequently, the study presents background research of contemporary long chairs and custom solution of long chair. The solution includes technical drawings and descriptions of the supporting skeleton of a long chair and upholstery compositions drawings and description. At the end, the solution is evaluated.

This thesis includes proposal of constructional solution of dining set which is located in the kitchen interior. It fulfils defined conditions and requirements of valid standards including safety standards. Constructional solution consists of mechanical drawings that it fulfils manufacturing conditions and client options. There are also created bills of materials, economic assessment and visualisations. This thesis deals with the issues of kitchen interiors with dining area and constructional solution of dining furniture sets. Furthermore, the thesis describes anthropometry and ergonomics. The obtained information and findings are then used in options of used materials. The thesis includes a literature research of current kitchen bench models and its evaluation. Building on these evaluations there are determined own solutions and options according to requirements.

As theme of this work was chosen project of the modular system designed for company of the Ing. Luděk Jekl. This work is focused primarily at the constructional solution. In work there are established theoretical way out creations of modular systems. With them are related research solutions of the current modular systems, which are established in next chapter. Next there are stated a possible used materials and total disposition working and functional zones of the modular system, which is necessarily for creating optimal conditions needed for work. Namely it is in terms of anthropometry and ergonomics. At next part of the work there are stated requests from submitter and custom constructional solution of the modular system. Part of the solution constructional drawing, bill of materials and visualization of the proposal. At last there is stated economic evaluation because the price is mostly a primary factor at the decision.
