Abstract
This research integrates affective design strategies with sustainability values in the context of a
soft seating furniture design solution. Rejecting polyurethane foam cushioning, the research
proposes a conceptual and material alternative to the conventions of soft seating. A full-scale
prototype demonstrates the fusion of ethical integrity and dynamic form, explored through an
innovative and iterative design process.
