To successfully apply for a position as a furniture designer, you will be expected to demonstrate your creative skills, your technical ability, and your commercial awareness of this sector.
Most furniture designer posts require you to produce designs and manufacturing drawings for either fitted furniture and joinery or freestanding pieces of furniture.

You should be able to sketch out ideas for initial brainstorming sessions, as well as produce more technical design work, often utilising CAD software.
