We are seeking a passionate and creative Furniture and Product Designer to join our design team. The ideal candidate will manage day-to-day client drawings and component detailing, while also supporting the development of new collections and custom pieces from concept through to production. This is a hands‑on role suited to someone with a strong eye for form and proportion, a solid technical understanding of materials, and an appreciation for fabrication techniques—particularly in metal.

The right candidate will be a proactive problem‑solver who thrives in a fast‑paced, design‑led environment and is eager to collaborate closely with both designers and makers.

Key responsibilities
  • Work with the sales team to produce pre‑sales drawings and Design for Approval (DFA) documentation for client approval and internal reference
  • Generate production‑ready component drawings for laser cutting, water jet cutting, and other fabrication processes
  • Work closely with senior designers and production teams to refine concepts and ensure designs are manufacturable and efficient to produce
  • Assist in the design and development of high‑end furniture pieces, from initial concept through to final product
  • Create detailed technical drawings, 3D models, and presentation renderings using industry‑standard software such as Rhino, Solid Works, or Fusion 360
  • Prepare material specifications, assembly instructions, and other production documentation
  • Research emerging design trends, materials, metal finishes, and fabrication techniques to support innovation and excellence in design
  • Participate in prototype development, workshop visits, and product reviews to support the design‑to‑production process
Qualifications & Skills
  • Degree in Furniture Design, Industrial Design, Product Design, or a related field
  • 1-3 years of experience (internships or freelance work accepted), preferably within the furniture or creative arts industry
  • Strong proficiency in 2D and 3D design software, such as Rhino, Fusion 360, and Adobe Creative Suite
  • Experience with 3D visualization software (Key Shot, V‑Ray, etc, AI) is a requirement
  • Familiarity with metal fabrication techniques (e.g., welding, casting, CNC machining, finishing) is a strong advantage
  • Strong hand sketching, visualization, and communication skills
  • Exceptional attention to detail, with a high level of craftsmanship and design sensitivity
  • A proactive, enthusiastic, and collaborative mindset with a desire to learn and grow within a design‑focused team

What we offer

  • A dynamic, professional, and fun working environment
  • Regular team days and events
  • Private medical insurance
  • Company pension
  • 20 days holiday, plus time off between Christmas and New Year, and an extra day’s holiday for each year of service (capped at 5 years)

We are committed to creating a diverse working environment and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
