At the international DRWO 4.0 project, we are organizing a series of events and trainings with the aim of promoting the dual transition (sustainable and digital).

In this context, on 30. April 2025, an online event on the topic of sustainable design of wooden products was held, organized by the Cluster of Czech Furniture Manufacturers.

The program included an introductory presentation of the DRWO4.0 project and its goals, followed by interesting lectures on “Design of wood products” by Tamás Rácz from the University of Pecs, Hungary, and “Sustainable materials and modern technologies for the furniture industry” by Iva Bastlová from the Czech Republic. The event concluded with a group discussion using the Slido web application.

This event offered an in-depth exploration of sustainable furniture design with a particular focus on kitchen furniture. Participants gained insights into the current state of furniture design, life cycle planning and circular economy strategies, highlighting the role of the European Union in global manufacturing and the importance of sustainable practices.
