Návrh nábytkového prvku s využitím materiálu vyrobeného z morskej trávy
Bellayová, Veronika
The bachelor thesis focuses on exploring the possibilities of using the material from seagrass Posidonia Oceanica for production of furniture. The aim was to design a furniture element made of this material that would meet the criteria for sustainable products to the maximum extent possible. For a better understanding of the concept of eco-design, a literature review on the subject was developed, summarising its practices, tools, and strategies. For the production and exploration of seagrass materials, it was also important to develop a literature review on the topic of bio composite materials, seagrass materials and an overview of their use in furniture design.Two types of adhesives were used in the production of the material and the resulting material was tested for bending characteristics, Brinell hardness and tensile strength perpendicular to the plane of the board. The properties of the fabricated material were compared with particleboard. In the process of designing a furniture element from the tested material, review on seagrass side tables was carried out. Subsequently, a custom design was created with construction solution and visualizations. Finally, a FEM analysis was created for the designed element to verify its stability.
Návrh nábytkového prvku s využitím materiálu z houbového mycelia

The thesis deals with the options for using fungal mycelium in the field of furniture. The aim was to design a furniture element so that the material’s prope-rties are taken into account. The theoretical part provides information on the ma-terial, its production, properties and processing possibilities. The literature re-view gives an insight into the current development of mycelium materials and the options for their use. The practical part deals with the design of a bench whose seat is made of mycelium composite. The experimental part thus includes mea-surements of selected material characteristics such as impact resistance, Brinell scale hardness, density profile, flakiness and flexure. The measurements compare samples with different input parameters such as the time the mycelium grew and initial densification during moulding.
