摘要：This article presents a method entitled 揇esign for environmental sustainability: design strategies, methods and tools in the furniture sector? This method was developed by the research unit DIS ?Design and System Innovation for Sustainability ?of the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, directed by Prof. Carlo Vezzoli. This study consists of a presentation of the method for the development of design and environmental sustainability tools focusing on a given sector of product type. It is is particularly relevant since it may be applied in different production sectors. The study was divided into three steps: life cycle assessment (LCA), environmental design priorities indicators (EDPI), and the creation of guidelines through a participatory research. Among other results, it proved to be an original abridged LCA tool and furniture-specific LCD guidelines.
