- Developing your creative ability on a course with a design culture that considers all aspects of furniture and related product design, and a philosophy that thrives on new ideas, new ways of doing things and the exploration of creative possibilities. We celebrate diversity and encourage our students to develop - their own personal identities.

- -Learning to think about furniture in its broadest terms, developing your creativity by exploring space, form and structure.

- -Designing different furniture units to suit any interior space according to the needed function (counter – storing shelves – chairs – decorative partitions, etc ……) within architectural artistic aspects, considering working details and used material, and according to human scale standard measurements (Anthropometric) and duty function (Ergonomics).

-Studying includes • research skills • idea generation • concept development • ergonomics • model making • production and communication.

Course Objectives :

Course Description :

- Training students on drawing different elevations (plan – vertical elevation – side elevation) for interior spaces ( residential, commercial and office) furniture units using suitable drawing scales.

- Drawing different illustrating sections showing the working details used in each unit.

- Drawing different isometric perspectives showing the wooden joints used in each unit.

- Studying the different line textures used in illustrating different wooden parts and joints through plans, elevations, sections and perspectives.

- Designing a decorative furniture unit using the suitable joints and geometrical drawing details.

Research for working details (needed joints and connections for

different kinds of materials and partitions)

-The fundamental structure and technical details are the basis for all designs.

-offering all the tools necessary to enhance and maximize the aesthetic visions for each design.Optimal designs, elegant details & simplicity in technical methods.

Here are some connector samples for modern partitions

Example one:

Flow composite panel

Connector

Connector

-CONNECTOR is a ceiling mounted partition system with a unique linking element incorporated into each of the panel designs .

-Each panel seamlessly integrate into the next panel to create a continuous extension without the need for additional hardware .

-These patterns are developed organically from its connection points and continually morph to create its final shape.

- CONNECTOR is available in a variety of design options .

-Our standard material for this system is made from a double sided, brushed laminate with a walnut stain color.

Example Two:

Domino

cellular, aluminum composite panels

Domino

-DOMINO is a simple and elegant ceiling mounted paneling solution designed to fit in any space and situation by employing a simple and flexible concept .

-This system combines hardware and panel designs into a package providing easy assembly and seamless integration into any environment .

-The impeccable aluminum surface is finished on two sides with a hard plastic core for rigidity and strength .

-Its modern and sophisticated designs can enhance any décor and help define a space .

-DOMINO is available in a variety of panel sizes that can extend using the proprietary aluminum hardware included in this package

Example Three:

Constructorcell extruded plastic

panels

Web extruded plastic panels

Wave extruded plastic panels

Forest extruded plastic panels

Constructor - CONSTRUCTOR is a freestanding and fully self-supporting partition system designed to create walls for dividing and defining areas for privacy without blocking views or light.

-Manufactured from rigid lightweight plastic sheets, this system is developed to allow limitless configurations without restrictions .

-CONSTRUCTOR is available in wide color options and designs to compliment any interior .

-The patterns vary in style, from simple and elegant to intricate 3D effects, these partitions are visually striking and can easily integrate into any designed or envisioned environment .

-The hardware for this system is developed for endless configurations and expansions.

Example Four :

Folding screens

Folding screen - FOLDING SCREENS is a new take on the traditional folding screen with modern twist combining new designs with new materials.

- Manufactured from wide range of materials, this system is developed to allow easy integration into your space. We have a few different systems to choose from.

- The double layers create three dimensional effects and dramatic shadows.

- The hardware for this system is developed for endless configurations and expansions.

- Some of the modular systems allows user to add panels to create wider lengths.
