Furniture architecture addresses affordability in several ways:
1. Use of Cost-effective Materials: Furniture architects use cost-effective materials such as plywood, particleboard, and MDF instead of solid wood and metal to reduce costs.
2. Modular Design: Modular furniture architecture allows for easy customization and an efficient use of materials. This helps reduce waste, increase efficiency, and lower the overall cost of production.
3. Mass Production: Furniture architecture can be mass-produced with advanced manufacturing technologies, such as CNC machines and 3D printing, which reduces labor costs and increases efficiency.
4. Sustainable Design: Sustainable furniture architecture design can reduce costs in the long run. By designing furniture that is durable and long-lasting, it can reduce the need for constant replacement and reduce costs over time.
5. Accessibility: Furniture architecture is designed with accessibility in mind, providing designs that meet the needs of people with disabilities. This helps lower the overall cost of living for individuals with disabilities and makes furniture more available to those who may have limited budgets.
