082900 The second-level Furniture Design and Engineering discipline

The discipline was self-established under the first-level discipline of Forestry Engineering in 2022. It is supported by the Key Laboratory of Bio-based Material Science and Technology (Ministry of Education) at Northeast Forestry University and the Heilongjiang Provincial Ancient Chinese Furniture Engineering Technology Research Center (Northeast Forestry University). The discipline primarily encompasses three research directions: Design and Material Studies, Restoration and Conservation of Ancient Furniture, and Furniture Design Theory and Technology.

This emerging interdisciplinary field integrates materials, technology, design, and engineering. It holds master's degree-granting authority and maintains a faculty team of 20 members guided by academicians, including national and provincial-level talents such as National Furniture Design Education Experts, Longjiang Young Scholars, and Longjiang Craftsmen. The faculty consists of 4 professors, 11 associate professors, five lecturers, and three doctoral supervisors, with 16 holding doctoral degrees.

The discipline focuses on research areas including: Functional Biomimetics and Form Fundamentals, Surface Modification and Functionalization of Furniture, Furniture Structure and Mechanics, Green Furniture Materials, Novel Functional Materials, Analysis and Comprehensive Utilization of Precious Wood Properties, Ancient Furniture Conservation and Restoration Technologies, Health and Wellness Functions of Furniture, and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies for Furniture. Its objectives address critical challenges such as efficient utilization of wood resources, theoretical deficiencies in furniture design, preservation of intangible cultural heritage in ancient furniture, and the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional furniture craftsmanship.
