Abstract
Fractal geometry is the best to describe natural shapes, as it can result to creating a complex shapes but with simple laws. After using technology, it became easy to understand and use fractal shapes in many aspects of our lives. Fractal science is a mathematical branch but this branch of science nowadays acts as an inspirational tool because of its aesthetic appeal and its ingenuity in describing natural objects. ُEcosystems has an internal order that seems chaotic and fractal geometry offered new ways for understanding ecosystems. Across different historical design styles and different cultures, each one of them was aiming to reach the grace in each aspect of the design, ecosystems has always been the source of inspiration to reach what they were aiming for. Interior and furniture designer is the main responsible of enhancing the life of the space or furniture user, most of our local interior and furniture designers are not aware of the importance of fractal geometry in design, and how fractal geometry can give different taste to the designs. The research paper aims through the study of fractal geometry and its characteristics, the study of ecosystems as a source of inspiration and its characteristics aims to find the connection between them to help interior designers to create designs that copes with this modern era. Finding the connection was done by an analytical study to compare the characteristics of each of the fractal shapes, nature and how it can be found in interior, furniture and architectural design.
