Program Overview:
The “Furniture and Interior Design Professions” VET Mobility Program is an immersive experience into the world of design and aesthetics. The program starts with an introduction to the basic principles of design, color theory, and material selection, forming the cornerstone of furniture and interior design.
Participants will then explore various styles and trends in furniture and interior design, understanding how different elements can be combined to create aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces. This includes learning about space planning, furniture arrangement, and the selection of fixtures and fittings.
A significant component of the program is hands-on training in sketching and model-making, giving participants the opportunity to bring their design ideas to life. This practical approach is vital for understanding the realities of design work and helps in honing creative skills.
Sustainability and eco-friendly design practices are also covered, reflecting the industry’s growing focus on environmentally responsible design. Participants will learn how to incorporate sustainable materials and practices into their design projects.
