In this thesis, the possibilities of reusing old furniture through the design and application of a collection of textile patterns based on Slovenian embroidery heritage were explored. The theoretical part provided a historical overview of the use of textiles in interior design, presented the development of embroidery, and examined sustainable approaches in contemporary design. In the experimental part, old chairs were selected and renovated using machine embroidery and tufting techniques. Several motifs were developed, one of which was selected and adapted for use on various textile products. The pattern was transferred to linen fabric using digital preparation and executed with machine embroidery, while wool and paper yarns were used in tufting to create three-dimensional textures. As a result, unique textile products were created—upholstered chairs, a rug, a wall art piece, and decorative cushions. The project emphasizes the importance of reusing interior objects and reviving cultural heritage through a design approach that connects tradition and modernity.
