Abstract

The paper is focused on using design processes in furniture creation as a mediator to support women's physical and mental health through religious symbols, specifically the Virgin Mary. In the context of the ongoing development of alternative design and its societal impact, this research aims to significantly contribute to understanding social issues through new design approaches. The results will provide designers with visually comprehensible, graphically refined drawing studies, physical models with material tests, and fully functional creations as reference models for practical solutions. Additionally, the article reviews the issues that the authors rely on in their creative and artistic research and presents an artistic-scientific hypothesis. Through specific examples, the authors aim to clarify and interpret the results of their study, grounded in authentic creation.
