Waste management has been considered as a significant challenge for sustainable development. From EPA report, furniture is the number one least-recycled item in a household. In current markets, much of furniture is made of composite material, which isn’t feasible to separate. This design project is based on the trend of sustainable furniture as well as the rapid expansion of recycling culture. It contains both tangible furniture design and intangible metadesign thinking. Here it comes with thesis statement: In order to raise public awareness of sustainability, how to design a furniture product with metadesign thinking? The content of the project is a modular table design that combines both recycle material and mass-producible ready-to-assemble furniture (RTA). This table design is including freehand sketches, hand-made models, Rhinoceros 3D modeling and short instruction movie.
