The global market has a growing demand for evolved Interior Designers with competences both in the architectural composition of a space and in the design of furniture elements, in order to organise and improve the relation among space, objects and people. The three years course in Interior and Furniture Design trains professionals able to participate in the whole design process: from the first sketches to the final project. The goal is training an Interior Designer specialized in furniture, able to combine the work and management of a project focused on space organisation and interior decoration with a design-oriented attitude. The programme develops theoretical and practical knowledge of domestic and living spaces, focusing on technological tools, production processes and materials. A proper understanding of the company values, according to the contemporary market, is required. The course has a specific focus on the craftsmanship process of Italian production from a cultural and historical perspective, analyzing the subsequent economic impact on Italian small-medium enterprises and for the international luxury market. Students learn tools and techniques related to the formal and functional representation of the product from freehand drawing to technical design, up to the production of three-dimensional models of the product, exploring the digital image, visual works and perceptive paradigms to develop artistic languages. Students also learn the project methodologies, products distribution and marketing strategies and they get a deep in materials and prototyping techniques. Moreover, the program focuses on supply-chain technologies and technological manufacturing processing, giving a complete overview on the Made in Italy production chain.
