Resumen

This article attempts to present the process of preparing an analysis on differential Carbon Footprint of each furniture types according to their product life cycle. The case study on one type of furniture namely "Tables" is to assessment the environmental effect of the production process and the method of raw material selection in furniture manufacturing and by using carbon footprint is an indicator of its effect. By using different types of furniture and product grouping furniture to indicate and calculate the quantity of carbon footprint. During the study customer's perception in response to environmentally friendly products, the result is expected to be the quantity of carbon footprint could be classified into three levels, i.e. furniture with the high,  the medium and the low level of carbon footprints.Keywords: Carbon Footprint; Life Cycle Assessment, Furniture Design, Environmental.ISSN: 2398-4287© 2017.
