Position: Furniture Designer

Experience: 3–6 years

Location: Mumbai

Industry: Interior Design / Furniture / Hospitality / Residential Projects

Employment: Full time About the Role We are looking for a Furniture Designer with strong technical drawing capabilities and hands-on experience in designing modular as well as bespoke furniture. This is not purely a conceptual design role. The person should be able to take a furniture idea from design intent → detailed technical drawings → material specification → vendor coordination → production → final execution.

Experience working on premium residential and hospitality projects is strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities Design custom and bespoke furniture including sofas, beds, wardrobes, consoles, dining tables, side tables, storage units, vanities, bars and other interior furniture.

Develop detailed production-ready technical drawings with accurate dimensions, sections, elevations, joinery and construction details.

Design and detail modular furniture systems, particularly wardrobes, kitchens, storage and cabinetry.

Translate design concepts/reference images into technically executable furniture designs.

Understand and specify materials including:

Solid wood and veneers

Plywood/MDF

Laminates

Metal

Stone

Glass

Upholstery and fabrics

Hardware and fittings

Prepare material specifications, finishes and hardware schedules.

Coordinate directly with carpenters, furniture manufacturers, workshops and vendors.

Resolve technical and production issues during prototyping/manufacturing.

Review shop drawings and ensure that the finished product matches the approved design.

Coordinate with interior designers, stylists, architects, project managers and site teams.

Conduct site measurements where required and incorporate site conditions into drawings.





Maintain drawing revisions and proper documentation across projects.

Technical Skills Required Must have: AutoCAD – advanced proficiency

Strong furniture technical detailing

Excellent understanding of furniture construction and joinery

Modular furniture detailing

Bespoke furniture development

Ability to produce vendor/manufacturing-ready drawings

Strong understanding of dimensions, ergonomics and proportions

Material and hardware knowledge Preferred:

SketchUp

Photoshop / Illustrator

Enscape / V-Ray or similar visualization software

Experience developing furniture for luxury/premium interiors Who We’re Looking For Someone who is equally comfortable designing a beautiful piece of furniture and figuring out exactly how it will be made. The ideal candidate has worked closely with workshops and manufacturers—not just created drawings from a desk. They should understand what happens when a drawing reaches the factory floor and be able to anticipate construction, material and execution challenges.

Qualifications Bachelor’s/Diploma in Furniture Design, Interior Design, Product Design, Architecture or related discipline

3–6 years of relevant professional experience

Portfolio demonstrating technical furniture drawings and executed furniture pieces

Prior experience with hospitality and/or premium residential projects preferred

Experience working with furniture vendors/manufacturers is key What we will evaluate during hiring

Candidates should be prepared to show both design portfolio + technical drawing samples. We would specifically evaluate their ability to take one bespoke furniture reference/concept and develop a complete production-ready drawing set.

Important: This role is best suited to someone who enjoys the intersection of design, detailing, materials, and making, not someone looking for a purely conceptual interior-design position.
