Furniture Designer
Furniture designers must be adept at both dreaming big and fitting ideas into a preexisting set of conditions. Designers are able to understand a room, its possibilities and its limitations when drawing up concepts for tables, chairs, sofas and much more. They must have a keen understanding of color, texture and fabric. While many designers will have experience drafting or with hands-on craft at technical schools or community colleges, no higher education is required for this profession.
