Abstract
This study focused on the collecting life cycle assessment data for furniture production process in two different types (comfortable and style) in Tehran, I. R. Iran, and analyzed the environmental impacts during the production process as gate to gate investigation. The results revealed that emissions in style furniture production process were higher than that of comfortable furniture production process, which is due to more solid wood utilization and therefore coating and painting processes. Moreover, the results showed that comfortable furniture production process has the highest effects on ecosystem quality, human health, and resources (fossil fuels and mines), and style furniture production process has the highest effects on resources (fossil fuels and mines), ecosystem quality, and human health, respectively. Keywords - Life Cycle Assessment, Comfortable Furniture, Style Furniture, Ecosystem Quality, Human Health.
