Resumen
Nature has perpetually remained a potent wellspring of inspiration for humans because over the years, through the process of natural selection, animals and plants have evolved unique traits to survive and adapt to their environment. These traits can be a source of inspiration for humans when they face problems that require solutions. Biomimetic approach, a discipline based on the idea of designing inspired by nature or imitating biological systems, is used to understand the unique properties and functions of living organisms in nature and to apply these properties to human-made products. The aim of this study is to highlight that nature constitutes one of the most significant sources of inspiration in the realm of design and to experience that original designs can be created by correctly constructing many qualities to be transferred from nature to design. In this context, a multifunctional and hygienic furniture emulating the lotus flower was designed with a biomimetic approach.
