    Furniture design class

    By Charlotte Bell

    Last night was the first class of my new semester - Furniture Design. We'll be going through the process of designing furniture and learning about furniture manufacturing through a series of studio projects and field trips. Our first project is a historical overview. Our other projects will be to design seating, case goods, and a line of furniture.

    I'm excited about this class because the professor is beginning with the very basics of shape and form, having us work with clay and build models. In some of my other interior design studios, we were presented with a design problem and programming information and simply told to begin - without much, if any, exposure to the basic concepts of good design. Reading even the best books on design theory just doesn't stick in my brain. I need more hands-on. This will be good.

      Presenting problems to students is one of the easiest ways of determining them to think and solve it by themselves. It seems that the furniture deals develop a lot faster since these courses are held professionally and people are determined to think and to become powerful designers. Do not stop here! Try to learn as much as you can!
