Mass-produced, low-cost furniture designed for short-term use and frequent replacement, often at a high environmental cost.
[noun]
Fast furniture refers to affordable, mass-produced home furnishings created to follow trends rather than last over time. Typically made from low-cost materials that are difficult to repair, refurbish, or recycle, these pieces often have a limited lifespan.
Similar to fast fashion, fast furniture supports a disposable consumption model that increases waste generation and resource use, instead of encouraging durability and circular design approaches.
