In contemporary times, it is a priority for designers to base themselves on sustainable actions and
design strategies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the product production chain.
Therefore, the objective of this study was to present the design and production process of experimental
stool using MDF, assembled and stabilized using fittings. From a literature review, the design
guidelines were delimited. Subsequently, a mood board was incorporated into the design process,
followed by a stage of generating virtual alternatives with the aid of mockups on paper and the
planning of furniture planning on the MDF. Prototype production was essential to analyze the formal
and aesthetic design of the product, as well as to adjust and validate the fitting-based assembly system.
From the results obtained, it was observed that the prototype met the sustainable guidelines defined in
the project and has the potential for production in 4.0 manufacturing platforms. |
