Emerging Trends in Sustainable Furniture Design: An Experimental Study on Arabic Calligraphy

This study investigates the relation between Arabic script and furniture design, as well as their common characteristics. Through experimental modeling, it also verifies the possibility of adapting those uniquely similar qualities to create a special style of flexible, sustainable furniture. This research is mainly interested in the formulation of new guidelines for a special style of flexible, sustainable furniture. This study reviews the literature to identify and classify various methods of using Arabic calligraphy in furniture design, as well as sustainable issues and solutions in furniture design and manufacturing. Experimental three-dimensional modeling software is used to analyze the various forms of Arabic calligraphy, as well as to select the most flexible in the formation of furniture. It was the analysis of the shape and proportions of the different character types (such as Kufic- Andalusian ....... etc.) to simulate the possibility of adapting Arabic calligraphy to the design of flexible, sustainable furniture.
