Ph.D. in Furniture Design is a graduate-level research program that combines art, engineering, and ergonomics to study the principles, innovation, and functionality of furniture design. The curriculum typically lasts 3-5 years and covers themes such as sustainable design techniques, materials science, craftsmanship, user-centered design, and the evolution of furniture aesthetics. Students perform original research to create new design processes, improve manufacturing procedures, or investigate the cultural and historical relevance of furniture. Graduates pursue professions in academics, industrial design, furniture manufacture, and product development. Admission normally needs a Master's degree in design, architecture, or a related subject, as well as a strong research emphasis on design innovation.
