Abstract

This thesis examines the effects digital technology has and will have on three major facets of furniture design: design creation, manufacturing and distribution. Starting with the role a designer plays in the creation of an object, to how the furniture industry creates those objects and lastly how we get our designs into the hands of our customers.
