DESIGNER Product Design / Architecture We are looking for a highly creative, detail-oriented Designer to join our multidisciplinary design studio. The role is suited to someone who is equally comfortable developing ideas conceptually and taking them through detailing, prototyping and production. The position will involve working across furniture, objects, lighting, installations and spatial design, with a solid emphasis on material exploration, fabrication and design for manufacture. Key Responsibilities Develop original concepts for furniture, lighting, objects, installations and spatial elements. Translate sketches and ideas into well-resolved 3D models, drawings and production-ready designs. Work on projects from initial concept through prototyping, refinement and final manufacture. Produce technical drawings, specifications, material details and fabrication documentation. Develop prototypes and work closely with fabricators, artisans, manufacturers and vendors. Research materials, production techniques, finishes and emerging fabrication technologies. Explore processes including 3D printing, CNC machining, digital fabrication, ceramics, wood, metal and mixed-material construction. Resolve design details with a strong understanding of proportions, ergonomics, structure, materials and manufacturing constraints. Prepare presentations, renders, diagrams and documentation for internal reviews and client presentations. Participate in iterative design development, testing and physical prototyping. Coordinate multiple projects and ensure drawings, models and documentation are accurate and organised. Contribute actively to the studio's design language, research and experimentation. Mandatory Qualification A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Product Design, Industrial Design or Architecture is mandatory. Applicants without a formal degree in one of the above disciplines will not be considered for this position. Skills & Experience Strong conceptual and design thinking ability.



Excellent sense of form, proportion, materiality and detailing. Strong 3D modelling skills. Proficiency in Rhino is highly preferred. Knowledge of Grasshopper or other computational and parametric design tools is an advantage. Proficiency in AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Suite. Rendering and visualisation skills using software such as Enscape, V-Ray, KeyShot, Blender or similar. Good understanding of materials, fabrication processes and construction methods. Experience with furniture or product detailing is highly desirable. Familiarity with digital fabrication, CNC machining or additive manufacturing is an advantage. Ability to produce accurate technical drawings and communicate effectively with fabricators. Comfortable working through multiple iterations rather than treating the first design as the final solution. Strong visual communication and presentation skills. Ability to independently manage assigned work while collaborating closely with the wider design team. What We Are Looking For We are particularly interested in designers who are curious about how things are made. The ideal candidate should enjoy moving between digital design and physical making and should be interested in experimenting with materials, manufacturing processes and unconventional ways of constructing objects. We are looking for someone who can think beyond conventional architecture or product design boundaries and is interested in developing a distinctive body of work through research, experimentation and making. Portfolio Requirement A portfolio is mandatory and should demonstrate: Strong conceptual thinking Product, furniture or object design Architectural or spatial design sensibility 3D modelling and visualisation Technical detailing Prototyping or fabrication experience, where applicable Evidence of individual design contribution to the projects presented Location: Bengaluru Position: Full-time Experience: (0 to 2 / 2 to 4 years, depending on requirement) Applications should include a CV and portfolio.
