Parametric design allows the use of computers and systems that can make decisions beyond human capacity, such as machine learning, through optimization in design and manufacturing. From this point of view, it is aimed to shape and manufacture the design by minimizing the subjective decisions of the designers by using various algorithmic methods and structural optimization to provide ergonomics in a furniture design. As the subject of the study, a meeting table for 8 people was discussed. In the process, 'artificial intelligence supported inspiration board', 'parametric design', 'human-computer interaction and sensors', 'topology optimization', 'observation in augmented reality' and 'computer-aided manufacturing' techniques were used sequentially. After the assembly was completed, the product obtained was finally evaluated in terms of structure-function relationship.
