Abstract: With the deepening of sustainable development concepts, the reuse of waste materials in furniture design has become a key pathway for driving the green transformation of the furniture industry. As a major furniture manufacturing region in China, Guangdong Province is representative in terms of industrial scale, policy guidance, and design practices. This study employs literature review, field research, and case studies to explore the current state, design pathways, and sustainable development strategies for waste material furniture design in Guangdong. Findings indicate that waste material furniture design in Guangdong primarily follows two pathways: primary design emphasises preserving the material\'s original form, achieving low-carbon renewal through artistic decoration, structural restoration, and functional extension; secondary design relies on material reshaping, modification, and modular integration to create innovative and scalable redesign solutions.
