The thesis addresses the issues of sustainable development of small local businesses and their future linked to the creation of a furniture design company. This work is the meeting point of different needs, the need of small artisans to find new jobs to allow the development of their business, the desire to repopulate an area that in recent years has seen its population disappear and the hope of allowing new ways for young designers to emerge and establish themselves in the world of work. To support the success of the project, it was decided to directly involve small businesses and local artisan realities.
