Furniture & Product Design
Furniture, lighting, object, a postgraduate focused on contemporary lifestyle.
You will become a designer specialised in the domestic world: chairs, tables, storage, lighting, tableware. Teaching alternates prototyping studios and industrial briefs, to go beyond aesthetics: creating functional, meaningful and lasting objects.
During this intensive year, you will design your own collection: a furniture line (for example tables, chairs, armchairs) plus a tableware line (glasses, carafes, plates, cutlery, accessories).
Every year, a week at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, the profession's reference event, to meet every player in object and furniture design. Partnership with a major industry player.
To validate your postgraduate, you will finalise and publicly exhibit your collection in Brussels, in front of a jury of creative directors and editors. The year continues with a six-month internship.
Among the lecturers: Alain Berteau, designer (OBJEKTEN Studio).
All classes taught in English. Private diploma, 60 ECTS, not state-approved.

Testimonial
Axel Thierry
Student 2025-2026, Furniture & Product Design M.A.
“My final thesis looks at how our eating habits are changing and how the spaces where we eat are evolving. With homes and dining tables getting smaller, I designed a collection of twelve modular tableware pieces. Each piece fits together thanks to a shared interlocking system, so the entire set can be stored in a very small space.
What I really appreciate about the postgraduate is the small group size. It means you get to know your professors well, and they’re always there when you need advice or a fresh perspective. They even take the time to find references that can help you develop your ideas. At the same time, you’re encouraged to work independently. There were moments when I had to figure things out on my own, but that helped me grow as a designer, take ownership of my project and learn how to stand up for my ideas.”
