Furniture Design for Health and Wellness

Furniture Design for Health and Wellness focuses on creating functional and aesthetically pleasing furniture that promotes physical and mental well-being. Participants will engage in hands-on projects that explore the intersection of design, ergonomics, and health, equipping them with the skills to craft furniture tailored to enhance user experience. The course emphasizes practical applications, allowing learners to develop designs that are not only visually appealing but also supportive of health and wellness principles.
Throughout the program, participants will collaborate on interactive projects, culminating in a final design presentation that showcases their understanding of the principles of health-centered furniture design.
