This study begins by redefining what sustainability is. And the characteristics are extrated through how the global interest in environmetal proctection has been linked to sustainable development. Through this, the researcher examines the potential of sustainable design. Based on this, various furniture design cases from the 1990s to the present are investigated. In conclusion, the researcher analyzes the characteristics of furniture design with sustainability for each age and derives keywords for the direction of sustainability. Through this, we expect that sustainable design will play a role in the future society.
