Designing comfortable living space, taking into consideration both residents and aesthetic values


What is necessary to make a comfortable environment and town for people to live in? In our interior product design course, students attain the ability not simply to design furniture and other home facilities, but also their study objectives include effective design of space and the interior environment itself. They will gain a strong understanding of and sensitivity to the relationship between people objects and their surroundings. The goal is to foster designers who can create interiors that incorporate consideration of people’s needs, not for the sake of aesthetics alone, but to ensure a truly harmonious relationship with the environment.
