The Faculty of Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw was founded in 1977. Our programme follows holistic thinking about design. It combines product design, visual communication and fashion design with market knowledge, technology, social sciences, art and culture. The three fundamental pillars of our programme are design, art and theory. DesignFuture is the new MA programme. Its aim is to direct research and design towards our main goal that is the restoration of harmony between humanity and nature. This strategic goal requires sensitivity to social issues as well as synergy with developing technologies in order to build a new and ethical economy. Research and teaching concentrates around three wide, evolving, current subject areas: society, culture and the planet and their interconnectedness.

Furniture Design at Rhode Island School of Design is an expansive discipline, where students synthesize ideas about what furniture is, what it’s for, how it’s made, what it’s made of, and what potential it has for artists and designers. The department’s curriculum emphasizes hands-on work to foster skills with a variety of tools, techniques and technologies, and challenges students to develop ethical, sensitive, and knowledgeable use of materials. Useful objects are viewed as important expressions of culture, with the functional expectations one brings to an object understood as both an opportunity for innovation and a point to diverge from. Furniture Design students investigate some of the most important questions facing designers today—from how to take advantage of changing technologies and new materials, to how to respond to variable economic conditions and evolving lifestyles.
