In light of the economic crises, the prices of furniture industry have increased tremendously beyond the purchase ability of Egyptian consumer, due to the increase of imported raw materials prices entirely which is specified for furniture industry in Egypt compared with its consumption period. Here lies the research problem, namely: insufficiency in making the most of the raw materials used in the manufacture of Egyptian furniture, which leads to an exaggeration in the price of the product compared to its consumption period. Therefore, this research aims at reaching the best of produced furniture in Egypt through durable design methods, and shed light to the impotency of adapting sustainable design methods in the modern Egyptian furniture design. The importance of this research lies in achieving the closed use cycle of modern Egyptian furniture, which makes maximum use of furniture, this research represents some of design concepts that increases furniture life-span like using one furniture piece for more than one function. Or following several methods after the completion of its use such as making some modifications or maintenance in order to reuse, recycle or re-manufacturing. This research has reached some results such as applying sustainable furniture design concepts contributes to the increase of product durability compared to its market purchase value. This research recommended to apply the durable cycle for furniture design as one of the sustainable principles. and Adoption of factories to develop future plans for recycling and manufacturing of the product in order to avoid the environment the problem of waste after use, whether to adopt the same factories for the product after use or cooperation with other known recycling or reuse
