Design of wood products using the method of welding wood

Contemporary design is often at the brim of change and is more focused on presenting concepts and designing processes than new products. The scientific community in collaboration with designers has an important role in the development of new constructions implemented in innovative product concepts. One such approach is used at the Department of Furniture and Wood Products of the Zagreb Faculty of Forestry, where designers, constructors and students have initiated an interdisciplinary cooperation. The paper represents a contribution to new findings in the field of applying innovative construction joints in designing furniture and other wood products. It includes sketches and designers' ideas of potentially designing wood products by applying the longitudinal connecting of turned elements by the method of welding. Further research is necessary in this field in order to justify the application of this type of joints from the standpoint of the various aspects of design.
