Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has changed many design approaches at the time. Designing furniture using AI platforms and applications to simulate designers' ideas into a 3D form has a crucial effect on the future of design and its workflow. The technology was made available for non-designers and amateurs to try their ideas raising questions among designers about the new technology and its possibilities. The research aims to investigate whether it is possible to rely on the designs produced by AI or if it is just a tool to help the designer to provide a new set of ideas that can enhance their ideas and push their design boundaries. In order to evaluate the extent of this technology on the design process and design implementation a questionnaire for (100) furniture designers was made. Experimental designs were conducted using AI on the same platform with the same prompt to understand the AI approach to furniture design. These designs were analyzed for their manufacturability and whether we can rely on these designs to replace the designer's skills or if it's just a fancy tool that needs a reformat. The questionnaire results showed that 70% of the samples agreed that AI designs can help designers in their sketches and serve as an initial idea for new design approaches. The research provides recommendations to designers and academic institutes about the importance of adopting and working with AI technology benefiting from its capabilities and its impact on creativity and innovation in design.
