Abstract

D4S (design for sustainability) is derived from the concept of “sustainable development”. The situation of energy and material resources directly dependent on human beings is deteriorating in the face of the major global problems threatening human development, such as population increase, desertification of the land, climate warming, forest reduction, extinction of species, and energy scarcity. Design plays a very important role in social development. On the one hand, design changes people’s lives. On the other hand, ecological damage, waste of resources, and environmental pollution also arise as a result of design activities. In this context, the concept of sustainable design comes into being. Based on D4S theory, this paper discusses the characteristics of bamboo and its application as a sustainable environmental material in furniture design. The status quo and problems of sustainable furniture design are analyzed using the sustainable design method, and the characteristics and processing technology of bamboo are preliminarily discussed, which provide a useful reference for sustainable design research related to bamboo furniture products. Secondly, the sustainable design strategy of bamboo furniture is put forward, sustainable design methods and principles of bamboo furniture are summarized, and sustainable design is explored through the practice of bamboo furniture design. Finally, an inventory of bamboo furniture design stage is compiled, which is scored according to design, plan implementation, and waste disposal to judge whether bamboo furniture meets the goal of sustainable development.
