The wood of Coffea arabica L., a residue of the coffee crop, is widely used for energy, which adds little value to the material, besides to promote the release of CO2 which has harmful effect to the environment. As the state of Minas Gerais is the largest producer of coffee in Brazil, the amount of wood from plantations of coffee may be considered appropriate to subsidize some production lines. This work was carried out to characterize the Coffea arabica L. wood to verify the capability of its use for the manufacture of furniture, based on the concept of ecodesign. The anatomical, physical, mechanical and chemical characterization of Coffea arabica wood used in the production of furniture were carried out. Furtherly, three types of furniture were manufaturected: seats, chairs and table. The seats and the chair were confectioned in association with the wood of Eucalyptus spp. The results showed for average density of 0.608 g / cm ³, elasticity modulus of 26,682 kgf / cm ², resistance to compression parallel 398 kgf / cm ², Janka hardness perpendicular to the fibers showed 627 kgf adequacy of wood to produce furniture of quality and aesthetic well accepted by the market.
