Namen magistrskega dela je bilo oblikovati in konstruirati multifunkcionalno otroško pohištvo v sodelovanju s podjetjem Satler d.o.o. Naredili smo pregled otroškega pohištva slovenskih proizvajalcev. Idejna zasnova otroškega pohištva je bila narejena po načelih ergonomije in antropometrije z upoštevanjem materialov za otroško pohištvo in standardov, ki urejajo to področje. Izvedli smo anketo, kjer nas je zanimalo mnenje staršev o otroškem pohištvu in njihove želje in potrebe pri izbiri otroškega pohištva. Na podlagi ankete smo prišli do zaključkov, da si kupci v prvi vrsti želijo varno, kakovostno in funkcionalno pohištvo, zanima jih zdravo bivalno okolje in odražajo potrebo po večjem trgu s pohištvom, ki raste z otrokom. Zasnovali smo dve različni konstrukcijski izvedbi otroške mizice in stolčka, ki imata možnost, da »rasteta« z otrokom, s prilagajanjem višine sedeža stola in višine mizne ploskve eno s kovinskim okovjem in drugo v celoti brez njega. Izdelek smo modelirali in izdelali delavniške risbe s pomočjo programskega paketa SolidWorks. The purpose of the master's thesis is to design and construct multifunctional children's furniture in cooperation with the company Satler d.o.o. We made an overview of children's furniture from Slovenian manufacturers and conducted a survey where we were interested in parents' opinions about children's furniture, and their wishes and needs when choosing such furniture. Based on the survey, we came to the conclusion that buyers primarily want safe, high-quality and functional furniture. They are interested in a healthy living environment and as well as in furniture that grows with the child. We have designed two different pairs of designs of a children’s table and chair. Both have the ability to “grow” with the child, by adjusting the height of the seat of the chair and the height of the tabletop. One pair was made with metal fittings and the other without. The conceptual design, modelling and completion of the workshop drawings of the children's furniture are carried out in the SolidWorks program, according to the principles of ergonomics and anthropometry, using materials for children's furniture and standards governing the field.

Diplomska naloga temelji na predelavi transportnega vozila v potujoči bivalnik, pri čemer sem se osredotočila na čim boljši izkoristek transportnega prostora brez trajnega poseganja v njegovo notranjost. Usmerila sem se v razvoj demontažnega pohištva, ki omogoča tako krajše kampiranje kot tudi nemoteno uporabo vozila za njegov osnovni namen, transport, saj je enostavno odstranljivo. Za predelavo sem izbrala kombi Ford Tourneo Custom, registrirano kot tovorno vozilo, kar mi omogoča demontažno opremljanje transportnega prostora brez homologacije. Gre za način kampiranja, ki je med kampisti v zadnjih letih vse bolj priljubljen, zato sem pred snovanjem opreme v prvi vrsti raziskala potrebe uporabnikov, že obstoječe rešitve problema in standardne parametre ter predpise, ki jih moram pri tem še upoštevati. Ker kampiranje zahteva veliko prilagajanja in optimizacije, je na tem temeljil tudi razvoj opreme za predelavo kombija. Ker je bil moj cilj kar najbolje izkoristiti prostor, ki mi je bil na voljo, oprema ni univerzalna za vsa vozila, vendar se prilagaja meram izbranega avtomobila. Del diplomske naloge sem namenila tudi možnostim razstavljanja opreme in razporeditvi pribora, posodja in kozarcev za zmanjšanje hrupa med vožnjo. The diploma thesis is based on the conversion of transport vehicles in a mobile home, focusing on the best possible use of transport space without permanent interference with it. I focused on the development of disassembly furniture, which allows both shorter camping and uninterrupted use of vehicles for its basic purpose of transport, as it is easily removable. For the conversion, I chose a Ford Tourneo Custom van, registered as a truck, which allows me to dismantle the transport space without homologation. This is a method of camping that has become increasingly popular among campsites in recent years, so before designing the equipment, I primarily researched the needs of users, existing solutions to the problem in standard parameters and regulations that I must follow. Since camping requires a lot of customization and optimization, the development of van conversion equipment is also based on this. Since my goal was to make the most of the space available to me, the equipment is not universal for all vehicles, but they adapt to the chosen car. I also devoted part of my diploma thesis to the possibility of disassembling equipment and arranging utensils, dishes and glasses to reduce the number while driving.

V diplomskem delu opisujem razvoj novega pohištvenega sistema. Gre za modularno pohištvo, ki ga lahko sami hitro in enostavno razstavite ali sestavite, morda tudi spremenite v »novo« pohištvo. Koncept modularnega pohištva je v diplomskem delu predstavljen od začetne ideje, ki se je skozi čas razvila v dejansko uporabno pohištvo. Poudarek pri mojem konceptu je predvsem na razstavljivosti, sestavljanju, minimalizmu, kompatibilnosti različnih gradnikov ter konceptu modularne gradnje. V diplomskem delu sem opisal tudi možne postopke izdelave posameznih gradnikov modularnega pohištva in predstavil končne konceptne produkte, ki so bili dejansko izdelani, nekateri izmed njih pa tudi testirani. Diplomska naloga je pripeljana do faze določitve končnih gradnikov in produktov, izdelave prototipov in izdelave končnih produktov, vključuje pa tudi preglednico z vsemi variacijami končnih produktov, številom gradnikov in težo le-teh. In my dissertation I will describe the development of a new furniture system. It is modular furniture, which you can quickly and easily disassemble or assemble yourself, maybe even change into "new" furniture. The concept of modular furniture is presented in the diploma thesis from the very initial idea, which over time has developed into actually usable furniture. The emphasis in my concept is mainly on disassembly, assembly, minimalism, compatibility of various building blocks and the concept of modular construction. In the diploma work, I also described the possible procedures for the production of individual components of modular furniture and presented the final conceptual products that were actually made and some of them also tested. The diploma thesis is brought to the stage of determining the final building blocks and products, prototyping and production of final products and a table with all the variations of the final products, the number of building blocks and their weight.

V delu smo izvedli analizo optimizacije procesa obdelave umetniškega lesenega izdelka (okvir ogledala) na 3-osnem CNC stroju. Iz grafične slike smo najprej v programu ArtCAM izdelali 3D model, triangulirali njegovo površino in ustvarili STL datoteko. To smo naložili v program SolidWorks, kjer smo z njegovim dodatkom SolidCAM določili parametre obdelave. Grobo obdelavo smo določili z operacijami HSR (high speed roughing), fino pa s HSM (high speed machining). Posamezne operacije smo primerjali in ugotovili, da bi najkrajši čas obdelave pri najboljši kvaliteti dobili pri izbiri HSR operacij »Contour Roughing«nato »Rest Roughing« ter HSM operacije »3D Constant Step Over«, znašal pa bi 4 ure in 1 minuto. Izdelano kodo smo preverili s simulacijo izdelave ter na koncu izdelali G kodo za naš izdelek.

V magistrski nalogi smo opredelili razvoj počitniške prikolice v podjetju Adria Mobil. Opravili smo pregled konkurenčnih produktov proizvajalcev počitniških prikolic ter pri tem izpostavili njihove prednosti, slabosti in podobnosti. Izdelan je bil pregled literature ergonomije ter uporabljenih standardov in materialov. Na podlagi analize pregleda obstoječih tlorisov prikolic Action in tlorisov preteklih sezon smo konstruirali s programsko opremo SolidWorks, ki omogoča zasnove elementov poljubnih in tudi zahtevnih oblik, enostavnejše konstruiranje, hitro spreminjanje, odpravo napak že v fazi konstruiranja, izboljšanje izkoristkov materialov ter vizualizacijo izdelka notranjost počitniške prikolice Action - posteljo, kopalnico, kopalniško pohištvo, tuš, kuhinjski blok, visečo omaro v kuhinji, dineti (sedišče), mizo, omaro ob mizi in omaro hladilnika. Pri oblikovanju nove tlorisne razporeditve so bili v ospredju pogoji ločene postelje in jedilnice, večji hladilnik, velik shranjevalni prostor pod posteljo, kuhinja in kopalnica. Z anketo smo analizirali všečnost novega tlorisa in ocenjevanje izbranih komponent pri anketirancih. Na podlagi podanih rezultatov smo zaključili, da ima novi tloris v prikolici Action velik potencial, ker je anketirancem všeč, saj so predvsem izpostavili velik shranjevalni prostor pod posteljo, ločeno posteljo in jedilnico ter hladilnik. In this master's thesis, we examined caravans, the development of new products, and the research and development department in the company Adria Mobil. We made an overview of similar models of caravan from (our) rival companies and then highlighted their advantages, disadvantages and similarities. This was followed by an ergonomics review and review of standards and materials that were used. Furniture was designed with the software SolidWorks, which allows the design of elements of varied and demanding shapes, easier construction, quick changes, elimination of errors in the design phase, improvement of material efficiency and visualization of the new Caravan Action, which includes a bed, bathroom, bathroom furniture, shower, a small kitchen/kitchenette, hanging cupboard, kitchen table and a closet for a refrigerator. We focused on designing a separate bed and dining area, bigger refrigerator, larger storage under the bed, kitchen and bathroom. After designing the new floor plan for the Action Caravan, we also made a questionnaire about it. Based on this, we analysed the degree of satisfaction with the new ground plan and evaluated the various. Based on the results, we conclude that the new floor plan for the Caravan Action has great potential, because people like the large storage space under the bed, the separate bed and dining area and the big refrigerator.

Diplomsko delo se navezuje na temo oblikovanja otroškega pohištva za opremljanje otroških sob in njihovega življenjskega prostora. Temelji na konceptu modularnosti in večnamenske uporabe produkta, ki se s svojo spreminjajočo zasnovo prilagaja tako uporabniku kot tudi prostoru, v katerega je postavljeno. Produkt je namenjen otrokom od prvega do desetega leta starosti, saj raste z uporabnikom in ga tako spremlja skozi več starostnih obdobij. Konceptualna rešitev nudi otroku varno in učenja polno odraščanje. V prvem, raziskovalno-analitičnem delu naloge sem se srečeval s teoretičnim vidikom pohištva, definicijo modula in modularnih sistemov ter z uporabniško in ergonomsko analizo. V nadaljevanju sem skozi konceptualno fazo predstavil potek naloge od postavitve oblikovalskih izhodišč do izoblikovanja končnega koncepta. Zadnji del diplomske naloge pa služi podrobnejšim opisom končne rešitve, s pomočjo vizualizacij predstavi produkt in njegovo rabo za različne namene. The diploma thesis is related to the topic of designing children's furniture for furnishing children's rooms and their environment. It is based on the concept of modularity and multi-functionality usage of the product, which with its changing design adapts to the user and the space in which it is placed. The product is intended for children aged 1-10, as it grows with the user and accompanies them over several life stages. The conceptual solution offers the child a safe period of growing up and a childhood full of learning. In the first, research – analysis based part, I meet with the theoretical aspect of furniture, the definition of modular systems and the module itself, and with the user and ergonomic analysis. In the following part, I present the course of the task through the conceptual phase, from setting the design starting points to formulating the final concept. The last part of my thesis serves to a more detailed description of the final solution and with the help of visualizations presents the product for different purposes.

Monitoring consumer buying behaviors in terms of their preferences and attitudes has been known as an important driver for the success and development of various industries, including a wood furniture manufacturing. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the purchasing behaviors of furniture consumers in the period before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two surveys were conducted in Croatia, the first in April and May 2020 with the assumption that consumer purchasing behaviors will change during the COVID-19 pandemic in the following year and the second one during March 2021. Differences regarding consumer purchasing behaviors and preferences for wood furniture between respondents regarding demographic and economic factors before and during the pandemic were found. The coronavirus pandemic is teaching us all hard lessons about resilience and adaptability, and new opportunities and solutions are essential. Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly important to produce information. Research offers insights into future design and building communication to better meet the information needs of different types of consumers and to more broadly increase the acceptance and appeal of wood furniture in society in the spirit of sustainable and bio-based circular economy.

Z naraščanjem števila prebivalstva in urbanizacije se človekovo domače okolje vedno bolj zmanjšuje. Vedno več prebivalstva po svetu živi v vedno bolj majhnih prostorih, kjer mora biti pohištvo temu primerno prilagojeno in večnamensko Veliko od njih si domače okolje deli tudi z domačim ljubljenčkom, kjer prevladujeta predvsem mačka in pes. Med njima obstaja vrsta razlik, tako fizičnih kot psiholoških. Mačke so bolj samostojne in neodvisne, gibčne ter okretne, rade imajo ozke, majhne prostore ter višino, psi pa so zelo navezani na lastnika, bolj neokretni in potrebujejo malo več prostora za igro in počitek. Zaradi prevelikih razlik med živalskima vrstama ter izziva, ki mi ga predstavljalo različne velikosti pasjih pasem, sem diplomsko delo osredotočila na psa in njegovega lastnika. Produkt je kos pohištva, ki je namenjeno predvsem psom, več velikosti, lahko pa ga uporabljajo tudi njegovi lastniki. Združuje modularnost s shranjevanjem in z možnostjo ležišča. Ob nakupu samega produkta ima uporabnik možnost nakupa še osnovnih potrebščin za začetek skupnega življenja s svojim psom. Produkt deluje kot samostojen element v prostoru, ki s svojo večnamenskostjo združuje uporabnika s svojim hišnim ljubljenčkom. With the increase of population and urbanization, the human home environment is increasingly shrinking. An increasing number of people around the world live in increasingly smaller spaces where the furniture needs to be accordingly adapted and multifunctional. Many of them share their home with their pet, which is predominantly a cat or a dog. There are a number of differences between them, both physical and psychological. Cats are more independent, agile and like narrow, small spaces and heights, while dogs are very attached to their owner, less agile and need a little more space for play and rest. Due to the vast differences between the species and the challenge posed to me by different sizes of dog breeds, I focused my graduate work on the dog and its owner. The product is a piece of furniture designed primarily for dogs, of several sizes, but can also be used by its owner. It combines modularity with storage and the possibility of a bed. When buying the product itself, the owner has the ability to purchase basic supplies to start a shared life with his dog. The product acts as a standalone element in the space, which, with its more purposefulness, unites the user with his pet.

Oblikoval sem inovativno mobilno pohis?tvo, ki uporabniku omogoc?a prilagoditev lastnim potrebam. Če se spreminjajo nas?e z?ivljenjske navade, zakaj se z nami ne bi spreminjalo tudi pohis?tvo? Pohis?tven kos navadno sestavimo, ga postavimo na mesto, kjer ga uporabljamo na enak nac?in do konca njegove z?ivljenjske dobe. Tradicionalen način uporabe pohištva želim obrniti na glavo in ustvariti vidik novodobnega pohištva. Ciljam na oblikovanje pohis?tvenega kosa, ki nam omogoc?a raznovrstne nac?ine uporabe glede na nas?e potrebe in preference. Ta prilagodljivost se nanas?a na lastnosti pohis?tvenih kosov kot so: mobilnost, modularnost, sestavljivost, razstavljivost, razlic?ni nac?ini vgradnje, multifunkcionalnost in dvojna uporaba. I've created innovative mobile furniture, able to adapt to individual’s needs. If our lifestyle is constantly changing, why not change the furniture accordingly? Normally, we assemble the furniture piece, place it somewhere, where we use it in the same old way until the end of its lifetime. I want the traditional usage of furniture to turn around and create a new aspect of contemporary furniture. I aim at the furniture design that gives us a variety of usage, based on our needs and preferences. The flexibility relates to the features such as: mobility, modularity, composability, resolution, diversified integration, multifunctionality and dual use.

Diplomsko delo je rezultat raziskave problematike s področja pohištva. Vključuje raziskavo principov trajnostnega oblikovanja, različne aspekte trajnostnega pohištva, primere dobre prakse, anketo, ki pokaže, da je najbolj problematičen kos pohištva kuhinjski stol, in oblikovalski del. Glavni cilj diplomskega dela je zmanjšanje nastanka odpada in prispevek k bolj trajnostni prihodnosti. Bachelor’s thesis is the result of research on issues in the field of furniture. It includes research into the principles of sustainabledesign, various aspects of sustainable furniture, examples of good practice, a survey that shows that the most problematic piece of furniture is a kitchen chair, and a design part. The main goal of this bachelor’s thesis is the reduction of waste generation and contribution towards a more sustainable future.

Trg jedilniškega pohištva je zasičen s cenejšimi serijskimi izdelki, med katerimi ima večina vrsto slabih lastnosti. Ugotavljali smo, da slovenski in tuji proizvajalci miz izdelujejo mize, ki niso dimenzijsko in oblikovno prilagojene večini obstoječih kuhinj uporabnikov. Zaradi vse večje veljave blagovne znamke Dan Küchen na slovenskem trgu smo predvidevali, da bi bilo smiselno razviti mizo, ki bi bila po kvaliteti primerljiva in po dizajnu skladna s kuhinjami tega proizvajalca. Določili smo kriterije kakovosti, ki jih mora novo razvita miza izpolnjevati. Naša predvidevanja smo preverili z anketo. Pri razvoju mize smo upoštevali rezultate ankete, zahteve evropskih standardov in kriterije kakovosti. Rezultat razvoja je nova dimenzijsko in oblikovno prilagodljiva jedilniška miza, ki je modelno zaščitena. Dining furniture market is saturated with low-cost serial products, most of which have lots of drawbacks. We notice that Slovenian and foreign table manufacturers do not produce tables that would be dimensionally and by design adopted to kitchens. Due to increasing notability of Dan Küchen trademark on Slovenian market, we expected that it would be sensible to develop a table that is comparable with Dan Küchen kitchens by quality and design. We have set quality criteria that the newly developed table must met. We used survey to check our predictions. During development we had to consider European standards, quality criteria and results obtained by survey. The result of development is a new by dimensions and design adjustable dining table that has been protected as a model.

Diplomsko delo predstavlja proces oblikovanja kolekcije vzorcev z organsko motiviko, ki so namenjeni uporabi na žakarskih tkaninah za oblazinjenje pohištva. V teoretičnem delu so opisana različna oblikovalska znanja, s pomočjo katerih sem izdelala diplomsko delo. Osredotočila sem se na njihov razvoj skozi zgodovino, predstavila pa sem tudi zanimive sodobne oblikovalske projekte. Teoretični del je podlaga za eksperimentalnega, v katerem sem skozi besedilo in slikovno gradivo predstavila proces izdelave vzorcev in tkanin ter njihove aplikacije na pohištvene kose. Za izdelavo tkanin sem uporabila tehnologijo žakarskega tkanja, pri izdelavi sedal pa sem se poslužila tudi tehnologije laserskega izreza. Končni rezultat diplomskega dela je bila kolekcija organskih vzorcev, ki so bili izdelani kot tkanine v tehniki žakarskega tkanja. Tkanine so bile nato aplicirane na sedalo trinožnega stola, s pomočjo virtualnih vizualizacij pa so bile prikazane tudi na drugih pohištvenih kosih. This diploma thesis presents the process of designing a collection of organic patterns for use on upholstery jacquard fabric. The theoretical part describes the historical development of different design skills with the help of which I developed my diploma thesis. I also presented some interesting modern design projects. The theoretical part is the basis for the experimental in which I described the process of creating the patterns, fabrics and their applications on furniture pieces through text and pictures. Main technique used in the process of creating the fabrics was jacquard weaving. I also used the technique of laser cutting to make wooden seating plates of the upholstered chair on which I presented the jacquard fabrics. Result of the thesis was a collection of organic patterns that were then woven into jacquard fabrics. The fabrics were presented on the pillow of a three-legged chair and, with the help of virtual visualisations, on other furniture pieces as well.

Diplomsko projektno delo, predstavljeno v nadaljevanju, vsebuje in obsega razvoj poslovne strategije, razvoj blagovne znamke, razvoj produktne strategije in produktnega oblikovanja ter izhodišča trženjske strategije za podjetje Mizarstvo Bregar. Projektno delo je nastalo v procesu več projektnih faz, katerih prva je analitično raziskovalna faza, kjer sem identificiral razsežnost projekta, raziskal temelje za nadaljnje delo ter preučil ustrezno teorijo. Sledijo sinteza, v kateri so predstavljeni ključni izsledki, ter izhodišča za konceptualno in načrtovalsko fazo. V slednji so predstavljene končne oblikovalske rešitve, podprte z ustreznimi argumenti. V prvi vrsti skozi projektno delo rešujem problem pomanjkanja ustreznih strateških izhodišč poslovanja podjetja in vključenosti oblikovanja v podjetju kot ene od ključnih konkurenčnih prednosti. The bachelor’s thesis presented below contains and encompasses the development of a business strategy, the development of a brand, the development of a product strategy and product design, and the starting point for the marketing strategy of the company Mizarstvo Bregar. The project was created through the process of several project phases, the first being the analytical research phase, where I identified the dimension of the project, explored the foundations for further work, and studied the appropriate theory. The synthesis is followed by the key findings and starting points for the conceptual and planning phase. The latter presents the final design solutions supported by the appropriate arguments. Through the creation of the thesis, I solved the problem of the lack of the appropriate strategic directions of the company's business and the integration of the design in the company as one of the key competitive advantages.

Diplomska naloga se nanaša na področje pohištva in sodobnih bivalnih trendov. Skozi raziskavo sem se srečevala s problemi majhnih stanovanj, tipologijami pohištva glede na okolje uporabe, s starostnimi skupinami potrošnikov in njihovimi nakupnimi odločitvami, z načini izdelave, materiali in ergonomijo. V praktičnem delu sem zasnovala modularen pohištveni set, ki omogoča nešteto možnih načinov uporabe in postavitev. Set sestavljajo leseni moduli, ki predstavljajo osnovo za vse kose pohištva, in dodatki, ki lesenim elementom dodajo uporabno vrednost. Produkt je primeren tako za privatne in poslovne kot za javne interierje, odvisno od konfiguracije. Rešitev je enostavna za izdelavo, cenovno dostopna in trendovsko usmerjena. Uporabniku predstavlja nov način opremljanja stanovanja in omogoča sestavljanje kosov pohištva, ki so izven standardiziranih meja. Temelji na multifunkcionalnosti in spodbuja kreativnost v vsakem uporabniku. The thesis relates to the field of furniture and modern living trends. Through research I faced the problems of small interiors, furniture typologies depending on the environment of use, the age groups of consumers and their purchasing decisions, methods of manufacture, materials and ergonomics. In the practical part I designed a modular furniture set, which enables a myriad of possible uses and layout. Set consists of a wooden module, which forms the basis for all types and pieces of furniture and accessories, which adds multiple functions to the basis. The product shall be delivered in both private and commercial interiors as well as the public, depending on the configuration. The solution is simple to produce, affordable and trend-oriented. It represents a new way of fitting housing, allows the assembly of pieces of furniture that are beyond the standard limits, based on multifunctionality and stimulates creativity in every user.

Predmet obravnave diplomske naloge je oblikovanje kolekcije dekorativnih žakarskih tkanin za oblazinjenje recikliranih kosov pohištva. Svet, v katerem živimo, se spreminja z neznansko hitrostjo, konstantni razvoj tehnologije in industrije se kaže v razvitosti samih izdelkov. Hitre spremembe produktov in cenovna dostopnost vodijo do ogromnih količin odpadnih predmetov. Zato se je že v 70. letih 20. stoletja med ljudmi začela širiti ideja o recikliranju in ponovni uporabi, ki bi pripomogla k postopnemu zmanjševanju onesnaževanja Zemlje. Zaradi vse večje potrebe po zmanjšanju odpadnega materiala in prevelike okoljske obremenitve se diplomsko delo usmeri v raziskovanje dobrih praks recikliranja in ponovne uporabe. V eksperimentalnem delu sem prikazala proces reciklaže šolskih stolov. Kovinsko ogrodje šolskih stolov je bilo preurejeno v nove objekte, ki so ohranili svojo pohištveno funkcijo. V želji po nadgradnji in oplemenitenju kovinskega ogrodja stolov s tekstilnimi kosi sem oblikovala kolekcijo dekorativnih žakarskih tkanin za oblazinjenje recikliranih stolov. Žakarske tkanine spadajo med tehnološko kompleksnejše in so lahko ustvarjene s sistemom ene osnove in enega votka ali s sistemom več osnov in votkov. Vzorci žakarskih tkanin so vizualno sestavljeni iz treh delov: iz grafičnih vzorcev, ilustracije človeka in človeških predmetov ter pokrajine oziroma barvnih ploskev, ki so združeni glede na opredeljeno oz. dodeljeno funkcijo pohištva. Žakarske tkanine so objektom dodale vrednost, unikatnost in s tem tudi višji cenovni razred. The focus of this diploma paper is a collection of jacquard fabrics used to decorate the cushioned part of the recycled furniture. The world we live in is changing with immense speed and the constant technological development and industrial chang-es are evident through the evolution of the products themselves. Fast product changes and low prices lead to a great amount of waste. The idea of recycling and reusing and thus lessen the impact of waste on the environment has been present since the 70s. Due to the ever-growing demand for lessening waste and our envi-ronmental impact this paper then focuses also on the exploration of admirable recy-cling practices. The experimental part shows the process of recycling school chairs. The metal frame was repurposed and used for other furniture pieces. In my wish to upgrade and embellish the metal framework with textile pieces, I had designed a collection of decorative jacquard fabrics which were used to cushion the recycled chairs. Jacquard fabrics are one of the most complex fabrics from a technological point of view and can be produced with a system of one warp and one weft or with a system of more warps and more wefts. The patterns of jacquard fabrics visually consist of three parts: graphic prints, an illustration of a human subject, objects and landscape or color surfaces that are combined based on the function of the furni-ture. Jacquard fabrics were considered an added merit to the furniture piece that had made it unique and thus also a more valuable item.

V diplomskem delu sem se osredotočila na razvoj postelje, in sicer od najenostavnejših ležišč v prazgodovini pa vse do današnjih vrst postelj. V prazgodovini so ljudje živeli v manjših skupinah, ki so se pogosto selile, zato so bila bivališča začasna in jim niso namenjali posebne pozornosti. Živeli in spali so v jamah, krošnjah dreves in v brlogih. Ko je razvoj človeka dosegel stopnjo homo sapiens, pa se je začela gradnja bivališč iz kamna in lesa. Prva bivališča so bila zelo enostavna. Namenjena so bila kuhanju, bivanju in spanju. Danes pa je stanje bistveno drugačno. Bivališča so večja, trdnejša in arhitekturno zahtevnejša. Tudi ležišča so danes povsem drugačna. Namesto slame in živalskih kož imamo na razpolago veliko vrst ležišč, kot so: vodne postelje, ležišča iz različnih vrst pene, kombinirana ležišča, pogradi idr. Raziskala sem tudi razvoj ležišč na Slovenskem od 17. stoletja naprej. Prve posteljnjake so prvič začeli omenjati na kmetijah. To so bile navadne ali boljše postelje z odejami in blazinami. Bistveno pri moji raziskavi je bilo ugotoviti, kako je potekal razvoj postelje skozi čas. Z razvojem človeka in s tem napredkom tehnologije so se ležišča bistveno spremenila. Z anketnim vprašalnikom sem pridobila informacije o tem, kaj postelja pomeni človeku danes, kakšne vrste postelj, ležišč in posteljnine anketiranci najpogosteje uporabljajo. Zbrane podatke sem prikazala v tabelah in grafično. In my work I focused on the developement of bed, from the simplest forms of beds in prehistory to the present day beds. In prehistory, people lived in small groups, that migrated a lot, therefore the beds were only temporary and they didn't pay special attentions to them. They lived, slept in caves, treetops and dens. With the evolution of man to the homo sapiens level, began the construction of dwellings made from stone and wood. The first dwellings were very simple intended for cooking, dwelling and sleeping. Today the situation is significantly different. Dwellings are bigger, more solid and architecturally more complex. Beds todey are entirely different as well. Instead of straw and animal skin, we have a lot of types of beds at our disposal: water beds, matresses from various kinds of foam, combined beds, bunk beds. I have also researched the developement of beds on the Slovenian territory from the 17th century onward. The first bedsteads were firstly mentioned on farms. These were ordinary or better beds with blankets and pillows. The main focus in my research was the developement of beds through time. With the evolution of man and technological progress, beds changed significantly. With a questionnaire I recieved the information on what a bed means to a man, what kind of beds, matresses and bedding the responders most frequently use. The data I collected are shown in the tables and graphically.

Zaradi ekonomske krize in želje po individualnosti ali po trajnostnem in ekološkem načrtovanju so na veliki popularnosti pridobili projekti naredi sam oziroma »DIY – Do It Yourself«. V tem oziru v teoretičnem delu predstavimo pojme »DIY« (Do It Yourself – naredi sam), »Upcycling« (nadgradnja), »Recycling« (reciklaža) ter »Open source« (odprta koda). Prav tako raziščemo zgodovino tega pristopa kot tudi razloge, ki so glavni vzrok nujnosti oziroma popularnosti takšnih projektov. Projektna naloga temelji na predstavitvi oblikovalskega pristopa "naredi sam". Vsebuje zasnovo in izvedbo modularnega kosa pohištva s podanimi navodili za izdelavo. Koncept pohištva temelji na modularnosti in možnih modifikacijah, ki omogočajo opremljanje prostora za različne rabe. Because of the economic crisis, desire for individuality or interest in sustainable and ecological planning projects as »DIY – Do It yourself« has gained large popularity. In the theoretical part we introduce DIY, Upcycling, Recycling, Open source. We look both into the history of these approaches as do we look for the reasons that makes these approaches so necessary or popular. The thesis focus on the introduction of designing approaches »Do It Yourself«. We will create modular furniture, for which we will present instruction for assembling. The concept of furniture is to present modularity and possible modifications, that are allowing furnishing of a place for different uses.

Namen raziskave je bil ugotavljanje telesne obremenjenosti učencev v prvem vzgojno-izobraževalnem obdobju. Zanimala so nas neujemanja med antropometrijskimi merami učencev in merami šolskega pohištva ter pojavljanje bolečin v vratnem in hrbtnem delu učencev. V raziskavo je bilo zajetih 100 slovenskih učencev od 1. do 3. razreda osnovne šole (48 učenk in 52 učencev). Izmerjene so bile antropometrijske mere učencev: kolenska višina, telesna višina, poplitealna višina in kavdalna dolžina stegna, ki smo jih primerjali z višino stolov in miz, ki so jih učenci uporabljali. Raziskava je pokazala, da do neujemanj med antropometrijskimi merami učencev sicer pride, vendar pa še učenci v prvem vzgojno-izobraževalnem obdobju osnovne šole niso tako telesno obremenjeni kot kasneje v osnovni in srednji šoli. The purpose of the study was to determine if there is any physical overburdening of pupils in the first three years of elementary school. We were interested in the mismatch between their body dimensions and the dimensions of school furniture, which could overburden pupils with neck and lower back pain. A total of 100 pupils from Slovenia (1st to 3rd grades of elementary school) participated in this research (52 male and 48 female). The following body dimensions were measured: knee height, stature, popliteal height and buttock-popliteal length. These were then compared to the dimensions of school furniture. Our research shows that there is frequently a mismatch between pupils body dimensions and the dimensions of school furniture in the first three years of elementary school, but the pupils are not yet physically overburdened by it. Physical overburdening appears later in elementary school and high school.

Pohištvo za opremo dnevnih prostorov ima poseben pomen. Poleg funkcionalnih lastnosti ima tudi statusni pomen. Zanimalo nas je, kateri faktorji so najbolj odločilni pri izbiri. Z anketo smo ugotovili, da so najpomembnejši: design, cena, poprodajne storitve in zaupanje v prodajalca oz. salon ter proizvajalca. Ocenili smo tudi, da so kupci pripravljeni premalo finančno vlagati v tako pomembno stvar kot je bivalno pohištvo zamenjamo ga šele, ko je dotrajano. Furniture for the decoration of living quarters has special meaning. Along the functional properties it also has a meaning as a status symbol. We were interested in factors most decisive in selecting furniture. By public survey we have discovered that the most decisive factors are: design, price, after market services, and trust in the salesman-salon, so as the company producing the piece. We found out that customers are not prepared to make the financial investments in a subject of such relevance as living furniture, and are only prepared to replace it when it is at the very end of its life span.

Na slovenskem trzišču je moč najti številne izvedbe klubskih mizic različnih proizvajalcev. Med seboj se večinoma razlikujejo po estetskem izgledu in uporabljenih materialih. Analizirali smo nekaj primerov klubskih miz, izpostavili njihove prednosti in pomanjkljivosti. Ugotovili smo, da je še posebej slaba ponudba klubskih miz za mala stanovanja. Na osnovi dobljenih rezultatov smo zasnovali merila in cilje za razvoj lastne klubske mize. Prednost naše klubske mize je v tem, da je večfunkcionalna. Z anketno raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti uspešnost zasnovanega izdelka. At Slovenian market, there are many designs of coffee tables made by different producers. They differ from each other, generally by material and design. Some coffee tables were surveyed their advantages and disadvantages researched. It was found out that there is a very poor offer of coffee tables for small apartments. According to the results gained by our enquiry, our own coffee table was designed. Its advantage is in multifunction. The questionnaire helped us to find out the best way to design our new product.

V podjetju, ki se ukvarja z izdelovanjem stolov in miz, so pri površinski obdelavi naleteli na problem pojavljanja napak, ki pa niso bile povezane le z delom in materiali v lakirnici, ampak s celotno proizvodnjo. Ker je število teh napak v zadnjem času naraščalo, je bilo potrebno evidentirati vrsto napak in pogostnost njihovega pojavljanja, poiskati vzroke za njihov nastanek ter predlagati, kako jih odpraviti oziroma popraviti. V enomesečnem obdobju smo v lakirnici dnevno spremljali, katere napake se pojavljajo in koliko jih je. Ugotovili smo, da se na približno 7 % izdelkov pojavijo različne napake. Pridobljeni rezultati so pokazali, da se kot napaka največkrat pojavljajo razpoke v lesu. Predlagamo, da je napake potrebno odpraviti, če je le možno, tam kjer nastanejo, torej v različnih oddelkih tehnološkega procesa izdelave in ne šele na koncu pri površinski obdelavi, ko se napake pokažejo. Vsaj nekatere napake bi bilo namreč možno odpraviti že pred začetkom površinske obdelave in ne bi toliko ovirale dela v lakirnici kot sedaj. Vsi ukrepi, ki so bili po raziskavi sprejeti, so pripomogli, da se je število napak v lakirnici pričelo zmanjševati. In the company which produces chairs and tables, we encountered the problem of appearance of defects during the surface finishing process, which were not only related to the work and materials used in the Wood Finishing Department. Due to the fact that the number of the defects had increased recently it was necessary to record the type of defects and the frequency of their emergence, to find the reasons for them and to suggest how to eliminate or correct them. Over the period of one month, the type and the number of defects occurring in the Wood Finishing Department were monitored daily. It was found out that the variety of defects occurred on approximately seven percent of products. The results obtained proved that cracks in the wood occurred most frequently. We suggest that the defects should be eliminated, if possible, where they first appear, i.e. in different sections during the technological process and not only at the end, during surface treatment, when the defects are made evident. It would be possible to eliminate some defects before surface treatment is carried out, so the work in the Wood Finishing Department would not be impeded as much as it is at present. All the measures which were taken after the monitoring have contributed to the decrease of defects in the Wood Finishing Department.

V zaostrenih gospodarskih razmerah je razvoj novega izdelka nujen, a negotov proces. Osnovno vodilo uspešnega poslovanja je dobro poznavanje potreb in želja kupcev. Izvajanje vseh stopenj razvoja izdelka je stabilna in varna pot k uspešni izvedbi projektov. Za pozitiven rezultat je nujno dobro in usklajeno sodelovanje lastnikov in zaposlenih. Prikazali smo konkreten potek razvoja novega pohištvenega programa KOLORINA v podjetju Garant pohištvena industrija, d. d., Polzela. Podrobno smo analizirali 2 stopnji v procesu razvoja: tehnološko-proizvodno in tržno razvijanje izdelka. Na osnovi analize smo ugotovili odstopanje od osemstopenjskega teoretičnega modela razvoja novega izdelka. In times of fierce economic situation the development of a new product is an essential, yet insecure process. The basic rule of running a business successfully is a good knowledge of the needs and wishes of the customers. Maintaining all steps in the development of a product represents a safe and stable way towards the successful performance of projects. Good and synchronized cooperation of the owners and the employees is essential for achieving positive results. A concrete development of a new KOLORINA furniture programme at the Garant furniture industry, joint-stock company, Polzela is shown. The 2 steps, namely the technological production development and the marketing development of the product, are precisely analysed. Based on the analyses, the deviations from the 8 step theoretical model of developing a new product were dealt with.

Opisali smo razvoj sistemskega kopalniškega pohištva. Na trgu je veliko kopalniškega pohištva, ki ga ne moremo prilagajati specifičnim potrebam uporabnika in prostorskim danostim. Da bi bilo pohištvo čim bolj prilagojeno potrebam in željam ljudi, smo pred snovanjem sistema opravili anketo. Zanimalo nas je, koliko so anketiranci pripravljeni plačati za novo pohištvo, kakšna barva pohištva jim je všeč, kateri kriteriji so zanje bolj pomembni pri nakupu novega pohištva, ipd. Na osnovi rezultatov ankete smo definirali prioritetne kriterije za izdelavo lastnega kopalniškega pohištva. Ugotovili smo, da so za kupce pri odločitvi za nakup kopalniškega pohištva najpomembnejši kriteriji: funkcionalnost, trajnost in estetski izgled. Poleg tega smo izpostavili potrebo po enostavni montaži s pritrjevanjem omaric na steno in kompatibilnosti elementov sistema, ki omogoča sestavljanje v poljubne kompozicije. Thesis describes the development of systemic furniture for bathrooms. There are lots of products for furnishing bathrooms on the market which can not be adjusted to specific needs of user and the place limits. To adapt the furniture to the needs and wishes of people, we made the inquiries before planning the new system. We wanted to know how much people are ready to pay for new furniture, which colours they like, what the criteria for buying new furniture are, etc. On the basis of the inquiry results the prior criteria for manufacturing our own bathroom furniture were defined. It was found out that the most important things for the customers buying bathroom furniture were: functionality, durability and aesthetic look. Besides that we also exposed to the simplicity of assembly by fixing storage units on the wall and the compatibility of the elements in the system, which enables combining optional compositions.

Posvetili smo se razvoju pohištva za spalnice, namenjenega nemškemu tržišču. Na ciljnem trgu je veliko kakovostnih spalnic, ki se v glavnem razlikujejo samo po estetskem izgledu. Analizirali smo izbrane konkurenčne spalnice in izpostavili njihove prednosti ter pomanjkljivosti. Na osnovi dobljenih rezultatov smo postavili cilje in jih upoštevali pri razvoju lastnega izdelka. Želeli smo izdelati sodobno pohištvo za spalnico s privlačnim videzom, ki pa naj ne bi odvrnila kupcev bolj klasičnih oblik. Ciljna populacija naj bi bili tako mlajši, srednji in starejši kupci. Zaradi velike konkurence smo skušali tudi čim bolj racionalizirati konstrukcijo posameznih elementov. Z eksperimentalno metodo, izhajajočo iz standarda SIST 14073-3:2004, smo preizkušali različne kombinacije okovja za spajanje obodne kotne vezi pri garderobnih omarah in tako poiskali cenovno ugodno ter hkrati trdno obodno kotno vez. We tried to improve bedroom furniture meant for sales on the German market, where huge potential sales offer exists. The furniture there is made in high quality mostly differing in well executed designs, belonging to selected competitiors. Its most important positive and negative aspects were analysed and used as fundamentals for setting the goals and targets of our project. We wanted to develop a modern, well designed bedroom, acceptable also for customers oriented into classic forms and into a bit older design. Our targeted customers should belong to younger, middle and a bit older generation. The influence of extremely high competition led us in the direction of well managed rationalizations regarding construction. We tested different combinations of fittings for the corner joints for construction parts of the wardrobe unit. Using an experimental method, following the standard SIST 14093-3:2004, different fitting combinations for corner joints of wardrobes were tested. In this way a strong corner joint at accepatable price was found.

Avstrijsko podjetje ki se ukvarja s trgovino na drobno s pohištvom (Rutar) namerava širiti prodajne aktivnosti na hrvaški trg. Preko razmer na obstojecih trgih podjetja, stanja na evropskem pohištvenem trgu, kot tudi analiziranja resursov podjetja ugotavljamo smotrnost te odlocitve. Pri tem izpostavimo tržne potenciale, ki jih podjetje ob vstopu na hrvaški trg lahko izkoristi. V nadaljevanju analiziramo znacilnosti hrvaškega tržnega okolja tako gospodarskega, kot tudi pravnega, politicnega, demografskega, geografskega, socio-kulturnega in socioekonomskega. Iz teh izhaja, da je Hrvaška odprta za tuje neposredne investicije. Podrobneje analiziramo pohištveni trg, da bi dobili bolj jasno predstavo o dogajanju na njem ter o posameznih tržnih udeležencih. Koncno predlagamo tudi možne strategije vstopa na hrvaški trg, ki so osnovane na teoretskih izhodišcih, spoznanjih, ki smo jih pridobili tekom analize hrvaškega trga ter preferencah podjetja Rutar. Sklenemo, da je glede na želje podjetja in razmere v okolju najprimernejša strategija za vstop podjetja Rutar na hrvaški trg ustanovitev lastnega trgovinskega podjetja. Podjetje bo ob upoštevanju teoretskih izhodišc, podrobnih analiz tržnega okolja ter skrbnemu strateškemu nacrtovanju, lahko uspešno vstopilo na hrvaški trg. Ein österreichisches Unternehmen, das in der Möbelhandelbranche tätig ist, will mit seinen Wirtschaftsaktivitäten nach Kroatien expandieren. Nachdem wir die Marktbedingungen auf den bestehenden Märkten des Unternehmens geprüft, sowie die Ressourcen des Unternehmens analysiert haben, stellen wir fest, dass diese Entscheidung nachvollziehbar ist. Dabei erörtern wir die bestehenden Marktpotenziale des Unternehmens, die dieses bei der Expansion nutzen kann. Im weiteren Verlauf der Recherche werden die Hauptmerkmale des kroatischen Marktumfeldes analysiert dabei werden Wirtschafts-, sowie auch Politische-, Gesetzliche-, Geografische-, Sozialkulturelle- und Sozialökonomische- Merkmale berücksichtigt. Daraus können wir Schließfolgern, dass Kroatien für ausländische Direktinvestitionen offen ist. Detailliert analysieren wir noch den Möbelmarkt, damit wir eine bessere Einsicht in das Marktgeschehen und einzelne Marktteilnehmer bekommen. Schließlich schlagen wir noch mögliche Markteintrittsstrategien, die auf Theoretischen Erkenntnissen, auf Erkenntnissen die wir bei der kroatischen Marktanalyse herausgefunden haben, sowie auf den Vorstellungen des Unternehmens Rutar basieren, für den Kroatischen Möbelmarkt vor. Wir stellen fest, dass betrachtend die Vorstellungen des Unternehmens sowie die Marktbedingungen, die beste Markteintrittsstrategie für Kroatien die Gründung eines neuen Handelsunternehmens ist. Dabei wird das Unternehmen, wenn es die Theoretischen Erkenntnisse berücksichtigt, sowie gründliche und tiefgehende Marktanalysen macht und den Eintritt sorgfältig strategisch plant, erfolgreich in den Markt einträten können.

Metoda oblikovanja za proizvodnost (ang. DFM - Design for Manufacturability) z osnovnim ciljem maksimalnega upoštevanja tehnološko tehničnih značilnosti proizvodnje omogoča tudi razvijanje inovativnih konkurenčnih izdelkov po principu sočasnega inženirstva in s sočasnim razvojem tehnologije izdelave. Naša hipoteza je, da je slivenska pohištvena industrija v nezavidljivem položaju tudi zato, ker podjetja v procesu raziskav in razvoja premalo sodelujejo z zunanjimi strokovljaki, kar naj bi pripomoglo k razvoju celotne industrije.
