    Interiors define arranged spaces equipped with furniture used by people, general with access and usage issues. All types of interior designs concern the interaction between people and their environment, which is a two- way process. If is taken one area such as a home kitchen, can be seen how social attitudes, developing technology and many other factors are reflected in the design of its interior. Universal design refers not just to a final product but also to a process of designing, which includes the functional needs of people with and without physical disabilities. This research article shows a concept of universal kitchen design, a product with both aesthetic and functional usage for everyone. The design process is based on the barrier- free designing with usage of innovation technology, in order to give access to inaccessible kitchen elements. Kitchen counters with several height positions, cabinets with roll- out shelves and ergonomic designed kitchen parts, offer disabled people in wheelchairs or ageing population and their families accommodation of usage and free access to tools in the kitchen.

    Macedonian experience in applying ergonomics, ergonometric principles for design of workspace in order to achieve greater productivity and efficiency, are insufficient and approximate. Taking into consideration the great importance of this science, which is always based on the anthropometry of the human body on the one hand, and the measurements taken from the project design for the furniture and the interior on the other hand, it is a valuable tool in the hands of a furniture designer nowadays. The ultimate goal is to get a quality workspace in which the human factor is very important. Through better understanding of the parameters of ergonomics, the designer can improve health and safety in the workplace. Actually, it is the designer’s obligation and task to constantly monitor the developments in the field of ergonomics, in order to implement, maintain and improve the design of furniture. The paper includes the most common ergonomic problems of specific jobs and ways to overcome them. Only by qualitative understanding of the human factor, his/her job, staffing, work environment and interactive relations that exist between them, will modern designers be able to produce healthy and safe designs, thus creating effective and productive working systems.

By analyzing this type of furniture and it’s needs from anthropometrical point of view there comes the need for design of several different pieces of furniture, including: chair, armchair, stool, two person bench, 3 person bench, rectangular table, square table, swing and matching flower pots. On the other side by analyzing outdoor furniture and its needs from material aspect there are certain reasons why there is use of thermo wood, and what are the positive consequences of its use. The ultimate goal is to get a quality seating and leaving outdoor in which the human factor is very important. Through better understanding of the parameters of ergonomics, the designer can improve health and safety in furniture. Actually obligation and task of the planner is to constantly monitor research in the field of ergonomics to implement, maintain and improve the design of furniture’s. Thereby are observed anthropometric standards for this type of furniture as well as the chosen material which satisfy the conditions of permanent use and desired look.
