ABSTRACT
The revolutionary effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on furniture design and production are examined in this article. AI is revolutionizing design approaches, streamlining manufacturing procedures, customizing user experiences, and enabling the development of creative and sustainable solutions. Important developments are covered, such as smart manufacturing and generative design, emphasizing the difficulties and potential paths of this technology integration in the furniture sector. We investigated the most up-to-date primary AI-powered generation bases for furniture design and produced a number of pieces with distinctive designs. The findings show that AI uses data analysis and machine learning algorithms to improve the production of more ergonomic, sustainable, and customized furniture. Neural networks and generative design methods offer new formal and aesthetic languages in the field of aesthetics, broadening the creative horizons of designers. In terms of innovation, AI makes it possible to integrate parametric modeling, additive manufacturing, and predictive simulation into intelligent design processes that are in line with Industry 4.0 concepts. Despite improvements, issues with authorship, ethics, and reliance on technology still arise. It is concluded that a new paradigm in furniture design, driven by co-creation, efficiency, and sustainability, is established by the synergy between human creativity and computational intelligence.
