On November 20-21, the managers of the R&D project "Locosystem – polymorphic furniture system", implemented by us thanks to European funding, took part in the XXXII International Scientific Conference of the Faculty of Wood Technology, Warsaw University of Life Sciences: WOOD – MATERIAL OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
 
On November 21, 2018, Prof. Katarzna Laskowska (Deputy R&D Project Manager) and Maciej Sydor, PhD, Eng., delivered a presentation at the conference entitled "Polymorphic furniture system in furniture users' expectations.".
 
After the presentation, a short discussion ensued, with the following speakers: presenter Katrzyna Laskowska, co-author Maciej Sydor, and people asking questions, including Prof. Wojciech Cichy (ITD in Poznań), Dr. Zuzana Vidholdová (Technical University in Zvolen), and Prof. Ladislav Dzurenda (Technical University in Zvolen).
Questions were asked about the operation and idea of polymorphic furniture, as well as design issues, to which the presenter and co-author provided answers.
 
The presented issues have also been submitted for publication as Laskowska, K., Sydor, M. (2018). Polymorphic furniture system in furniture users' expectations. Annals of WULS – SGGW, Forestry and Wood Technology, (104).

The project "LOCOSYSTEM POLYMORPHOUS FURNITURE SYSTEM" carried out by Digitouch sp. z o. o. was co-financed from European Funds under Measure 1.1 of the Smart Growth Operational Programme "R&D projects of enterprises", Sub-measure 1.1.1 "Industrial research and development work carried out by enterprises" thanks to funding from the National Centre for Research and Development.
 
As part of the development of Karol Starczewski's LOCOSYSTEM, we expanded the system's functions from 4 to 10, resulting in the design and production of 19 unique pieces of furniture. The project incorporated the principles of universal design. The new features we added to LOCOSYSTEM are the result of our team's detailed analysis of furniture user needs.
 
Thanks to the project, we have created a complete offer of furniture solutions, enabling the construction of individual furniture and the arrangement of unusual living spaces within a single, universal, multi-functional and design-coherent system.
