Abstract
This project examines why local materials matter and the main elements

natural materials significantly increases their energy usage making them a
less sustainable choice. Another study shows that we humans have become

play an important role in making people feel connected to nature again. By
designing outdoor furniture made out of local wood the aim of the project is
to help people experience nature in order to connect with nature again while
also showcasing the potential of local wood production in Iceland. (Less)
