The purpose of this study is to embrace regionalism and specific Romanian wood construction methods and create a vital connection between vernacular concepts and new interior design. The methods used in the research are based on field trips, visiting Romanian villages, connecting with the community and determining the degree of presence of traditional wood structures and housing, the transition of vernacular construction typologies in the contemporary context. The aim of the project is to create furniture with value and meaning which increases with time and through the use of local communities. This type of interior design achieves meaning as a part of the variety of cultures of the local Romanian communities and as a symbolic reflection of the context. The objective of the experimental investigations was to determine specific local characteristics of vernacular architecture and furniture in Romania and specific European countries. The results and conclusions of this investigation also focus upon manifestations of neo-vernacular architecture in national and European context and set the basis for the main value-adding methods proposed in this research.
