The European furniture industry is accelerating its transition towards more sustainable and circular business models. New regulations, advances in standardisation and increasingly demanding market expectations are reshaping the way we design, manufacture and manage furniture.
In this context, at FRANCESCA project we are working to support manufacturers and other value chain stakeholders in developing practical circular solutions applicable throughout the entire furniture life cycle – from design and material selection to reuse, repair and end-of-life management.
To move forward effectively, we need first-hand insight into the sector’s reality. We invite furniture industry professionals to take part in two short surveys:
• Circular Design Assessment Tool
We want to understand what furniture producers and suppliers – designers, engineers, sustainability managers and other professionals – need from a circular design assessment tool.

• Circular Business Model Innovation
Share your current practices and the challenges you face regarding new business approaches, such as furniture-as-a-service, take-back schemes or reuse-based models.
