摘要

The aim of this thesis has been to develop and document a researchproject that takes the form of a strategic response by a furniture designermaker(Philip Koomen Furniture) to the challenging ecological issuesraised by the Earth Summit (Rio de Janeiro, 1992) and detailed in thedocument Agenda 21: Sustainable Development for the 21st Century. ALiterature Review contextualises this research project in relation to issuesaround global resources and sustainable practices and considers variousmodels of sustainable design in relation to the commercial mainstreambut more particularly with regard to the role of the furniture designermakerin contemporary society. The thesis explores the rationale for whatbecame termed the “Signed & Sealed” project and describes thedevelopment of an associated body of designs through the negotiation ofthe degraded state of the U.K.’s native woodlands and the location ofthree critical strands which together came to define the “Signed & Sealed”brand – strands identified by the terms semi-bespoke, local cycle andunique signature. These terms are illuminated in turn by discussion ofthe commissioning processes favoured by designer-makers and byconsideration of the economic and aesthetic problems to be found inconnection with the sourcing, development and use of local, noncommercialtimbers. The thesis also describes the project’s formalpresentation in the exhibition “Out of the Woods” (River & RowingMuseum, Henley-on-Thames, 17 September 2004 to 7 January 2005)and the two conferences “Our Woods in Your Hands” (River & RowingMuseum, Henley-on-Thames, 25 September 2004) and “Out of theWoods: Design for Sustainability” (River & Rowing Museum, Henley-on-Thames, 20 October 2004) and considers the peer reviews andresponses which followed these events. Finally, the thesis offers a criticalevaluation of the PhD research process which framed the project togetherwith some discussion of further potential avenues of research anddevelopment.
