Furniture Design (BA Hons)

Discover how to combine creative thinking, practical activity and a theoretical understanding of materials so that whether you are looking for a career in industrial furniture design or artisanal furniture creation, you will be well equipped for success.

This programme allows you to specialise in the design and production of furniture. There are two main pathways, allowing you to specialise either in industrial furniture production or on the smaller-scale, more bespoke end of the market. Both options encourage you to explore your creativity while building your practical and theoretical skills. The Furniture Designer-Maker pathway allows you explore the possibilities of hand-making on a small scale, producing highly crafted furniture for creative, commercial and cultural contexts. If you choose to specialise as a Furniture Maker for Industry you will focus more on the industrial and commercial manufacturing processes needed for mass production. Students on the two pathways share core modules and work together on collaborative projects, which build your problem-solving, team-working and communication skills.
