Start by framing your work and exploring big questions such as "What is furniture design?"
Case studies
Next you will learn by doing, modeling some of the important pieces of furniture history (such as the Thonet café chair and Eames DCM chair) to gain a better understanding of the masters of design.
Design process
Explore the furniture design process by following along with the research, schematic design, design development, and documentation of a brand-new furniture design.
Extend and translate
Last learn how to translate your furniture design to other software by exporting assets for 3d printing, rendering, and game development.
The training is focused on the creation of complex organic surfaces while you maintain precise control of that geometry's accuracy. Packed with tips and timesaving strategies, these tutorials will not only make you a better furniture designer, but a faster one as well.

- Hello and welcome to Furniture Design with Rhino 3D. My name is Jon Racek and I use Rhino in my own design work. Over the years I've developed techniques that have streamlined my design process. In this course, I'm going to walk you through that process and provide all sorts of tips and tricks along the way. We're going to start by taking a look at some of the fundamental concepts behind furniture design. Next, we'll examine some important works in the history of furniture design, and we'll design our own chairs inspired by those historical works.
Building upon this knowledge, we'll go through the design process of creating our own chairs from scratch, and we'll talk about the variety of ways to export that design preparing it for a photo realistic render, a 3D print, or for game development such as a unity asset. So let's dive in to Furniture Design with Rhino.
