Unit 2: Sustainable Seating

This document explores the principles of sustainable seating design, focusing on materials and ergonomics. The analysis emphasizes the importance of using sustainable materials, such as wood and cardboard, which encourage cyclic, solar, safe, and efficient practices. It categorizes potential uses of seating—such as eating, working, and relaxation—and evaluates how factors like seat height, back support, and recline angles contribute to user comfort. This study aims to inform designers on creating better seating solutions through thoughtful product analysis and material selection.
