In the past five years, studies have identified that sustainable practices and eco-friendly materials may reduce material strength, while technology use in furniture manufacturing can impact aesthetics. Technological advances have shifted furniture design from conventional to digital, focusing on user needs and creative innovation. An initial survey revealed challenges like limited design skills among craftsmen and the need for technology adoption. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed design by enabling creativity and addressing complex market demands. The purpose of this study is to explore the application of AI in the furniture industry and examine AI technologies that are suitable for current and future needs, by utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of Scopus.com database material accessed on 11 September 2024. This study's methodology covers research questions, search strategy, data extraction, and analysis. The main research question investigates the impact of AI on creativity in furniture design. Qualitative and quantitative analyses highlight key terms like SVM, case studies, indoor and outdoor environments, input, accuracy, and experimental results. Most methods focus on developing AI models for room classification, as well as hybrid approaches. Analysis through Network Visualization, Overlay Visualization, and Occurrence and Relevance metrics reveals that AI has a significant impact on furniture design creativity by driving innovation, personalization, optimization, efficiency, and technology integration. Further research on the application of AI to furniture is recommended to enhance production quality and design creativity, based on consumer personalization, by designing a layered architecture for AI integration to foster design creativity.
