"In my projects I always try to negotiate with the product I'm going to design. I negotiate the relevance of the material, its creation, form, meaning, and function." In this online course, product designer Thomas Schnur teaches you that sustainability in design is above all about a holistic view of the process. Deepen your knowledge of product design by planning and building a piece of wooden furniture.

Learn how to design a piece of furniture from scratch. First, Thomas shows you the role of craftsmanship and industry in design, as well as the meaning of concepts such as "circular economy" and "carbon footprint". Discover how to generate ideas by observing the everyday, so you can draw, design, and make your very own furniture.
