The four-year-long Bachelor of Design (B.Des.) in Furniture and Interior Design programme is offered only at National Institute of Design Ahmedabad.

The Discipline of Furniture and Interior Design deals with the creation and evolution of objects, structures, and systems at human scale that aims to improve the quality of life in the immediate living and working environment while looking at sustainable and innovative use of diverse materials and processes. It believes in a broad and interdisciplinary attitude for enriching the design activity and draws from experiences of Industrial and Environmental Design professions. The Programme provides an integrated approach to the design of furniture and interior objects and systems as part of one’s living and working habitat while striving to redefine the boundaries of such elements with a systems perspective.

The Furniture and Interior Design discipline encourage the students to develop a strong foundation of basics, which facilitates anticipation of the future. The Institute achieves this purpose through a diverse pool of faculty who brings academic knowledge and work experience to their instruction.

The programme aims to educate designers to handle all aspects of furniture design as one integrated user-centric area of study, and their ability to integrate all such elements and systems into coherent wholes in various interior spatial contexts is considered to be important. Special emphasis is placed on the ability to develop self-made prototypes in order to test human and functional factors v/s aesthetics and use of materials.
