Furniture design is the art and practice of creating functional objects for sitting, sleeping, storing, and working—chairs, tables, beds, cabinets, and the like.
It sits at the intersection of industrial design, architecture, and craft, balancing aesthetics with ergonomics, materials, and manufacturing constraints.
Iconic furniture designs, like the Eames lounge chair or Barcelona chair, are recognized as significant cultural artifacts.
