How I work
From vision to creation—designing furniture that fits your life.
A furniture designer follows a five-step process: understanding the client’s needs, researching and sketching concepts, presenting and refining designs, developing detailed plans and prototypes, and finally overseeing production and delivery to ensure quality and satisfaction.

Understanding the Client's Needs
The designer meets with the client to discuss their requirements, aesthetic and functional preferences, as well as their budget.
Research and Initial Design
Based on the gathered information, the designer researches current trends, available materials, and starts sketching initial design concepts for the furniture
Presentation and Discussion
The designer presents the concepts to the client, explaining the design choices, proposed materials, and how the furniture meets the client’s needs. This is also the stage where the client provides feedback and requests adjustments if needed
Detailed Development and Prototyping
Once the concept is approved, the designer works on detailed plans, specifies the exact materials, and may create a prototype. This stage can also include testing for durability and functionality.
Production and Delivery
After the prototype is validated, the designer oversees the furniture production, ensuring quality standards are met. The final piece is then delivered and installed at the client’s location as agreed.
