APPLY NOW ALUMNI SPEAKThe Furniture Designer has a lot to offer in the new age marketplace. In the last decade, due to the foraying of e-commerce giants into furniture offerings, mass awareness and fascination for the subject has grown exponentially. What was once considered a luxury item now has thoughtfully designed solutions for all categories of projects. Increased competition sees Architects, Interior Designers and Builders choose their indoor and outdoor furniture with greater inquiry. Organisations are investing in creating smart environments with modular furniture combined with refined environments. The time is exciting for Furniture Designers to offer their creativity to the world.
The syllabus follows a step by step approach that develops in the students, the empathy, imagination, technical and soft skills as well as confidence, to come up with design solutions for project briefs. Class room sessions or studio sessions are discussion oriented. Learning is via research, experiment and sharing. Mutual feedback on project progress and presentations cultivate in the student the ability to showcase ideas, win over an audience and accept feedback. Our faculty modulates the programme in a way that students are driven to bring out the best in them at every turn while having fun in the process. Each semester culminates with a design project at the end of it, an opportunity to apply all that is learnt.
Tremendous opportunities first sprung up for Furniture Designers in the early 2000s, with the Retail boom that saw heavy investment in modular furniture systems into the designs of branded environments. This was accompanied by growing investment amongst corporations into upscalling their work environments, by setting up ergonomically designed, pleasant workstations and modular storage systems along with other interior design fittings. The Scope for Furniture Design as a career path was only further cemented with the onset of the e-commerce marketplace. India’s leading business houses and ‘Start-Ups’ brought designed furniture and stories to the homes and screens of the regular consumer. Now, buying designed furniture is not considered a luxury, but a necessity for lifestyle by the middle class as well. What was a trend in the metro cities is now infiltrating tier two cities and towns too. There is a lot of excitement amongst investors and buyers alike, when it comes to picking thoughtfully made furniture, with a story around it.
