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.
