Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The creation of inclusive furniture is a paramount consideration in contemporary design, where comfort and safety intersect to enhance the quality of life for diverse user populations. As society becomes increasingly aware of the needs of individuals with varying abilities, the importance of developing furniture that is both accessible and functional becomes essential. Events such as (Bichard et al.) underlie the significance of discourse around inclusive design, bringing together thought leaders to share innovative approaches and strategies. The challenges faced by elderly and disabled individuals in accessing services and environments is evident, as they often encounter mobility limitations that hinder their participation in everyday life (Meshur et al.). Thus, the integration of universal design principles in furniture creation not only addresses these barriers but also promotes a more equitable and enriching experience for all users, highlighting the profound impact of thoughtful design in fostering inclusive environments.
