Career Profile: Furniture Designer
Written by admin on Aug 5th, 2008 | Filed under: Artistic careers
This is the job description of the Furniture Designer.
Design is an indispensable part of modern lifestyle and living. You basically cannot live without products. Furniture design is really a subset of product design.
Many furniture designers have training background either in Product Design, Industrial Design or Interior Design. Often they have a degree or diploma in one of the above-mention courses.
While on the job, they have to be creative with a fine sense for aesthetics. They also need to have a good understanding of ergonomics as well as material and manufacturing processes.
A person inspiring to be a furniture designer should have good visualization ability. He or she should have good artistic ability as well.
Yeah… I agree that some furniture designer have experience in interior design.
The furniture designer from industrial design background tends to be different from those who are from interior background.
I think, this is due to the differences in trainings.
