“…When the studies on determining or classifying the criteria in the design activity are examined, it is seen that a large number of criteria are analyzed and sometimes handled differently depending on the user or customer (sometimes also the manufacturer-subcontractor). Examples of such evaluation or preference criteria are; durable, functional, having more than one function, aesthetic, reliable, easy to clean, service, shape and form, economical, suitable for space and place, fashionable, easy to carry (Yıldırım & Aslan, 2022;Akyüz, 1998;Göktaş, 2003;Kalınkara, 2008;Arpacı, 2014;Atılgan et al, 2018;Çabuk et al, 2012;Öztürk, 2006;Andaç, 2009;Dülgeroğlu, 2011;Erdinler & Koç, 2015;Okçu & Morkoç, 2017). In the study of Tütüncü (2011) user opinions are taken as basis to evaluate the furniture product.…”

It is seen that the design-oriented criteria in the furniture product have been analyzed through consumer or user preferences until today. However, the design criteria determined or evaluated through user preferences are not sufficient for the development of products. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the criteria in the design process in the furniture industry from an expert point of view, to determine the importance and weights of these criteria, and to develop standards. In this context, the aim of this study is to determine the criteria and sub-criteria in the furniture design process, and to analyze the importance ratings and weights of these criteria relative to each other. AHP, which is one of the multiple decision-making methods, was applied for the literature review and the analysis of the importance and weights of the criteria and sub-criteria determined by five different experts in the field. A total of 4 main criteria and 25 sub-criteria were determined in order to evaluate the furniture design process with the opinion of experts. Accordingly, the main criterion that has the most importance when evaluating the furniture design process is functionality. This criterion is followed by technical, conceptual and aesthetic criteria, respectively. Planning in accordance with the intended use (functional), material quality (technical), sustainability (conceptual) and form / shape (aesthetic) are the most important sub-criteria under the basic criteria. The findings of the study have the potential to contribute to the objective evaluation of the instructors working in the institutions providing education in the field, to determine the evaluation criteria in national-international design competitions, or to make a joint group decision by multiple decision makers in the sector.
