Contact: Emily or Sammy at Pearson Whiffin Recruitment

Are you a creative graduate with a genuine passion for interiors, furniture and product design?

Maybe you’ve completed a placement year, gained some industry exposure, or you’re currently in your first design role and looking for a business where you can have more creative input and long-term progression?

If so, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

We’re recruiting on behalf of a growing, design-led interiors business looking to add a talented Product / Furniture Designer to their collaborative team. This is a newly created role offering the chance to work closely with senior leaders and play a key part in developing commercially successful products for the home interiors market.

This is not a role where you’ll be sat quietly tweaking drawings all day. It’s hands-on, varied and creative — ideal for someone who enjoys seeing ideas develop from initial concept through to finished product.

What you’ll be doing:

• Supporting the design and development of furniture and interior products
• Producing sketches, renders, CAD drawings and presentation visuals
• Researching trends, materials, finishes and emerging styles
• Working alongside product, design and supplier teams to bring ideas to life
• Contributing to customer presentations and product proposals
• Helping ensure designs are both visually exciting and commercially viable

What we’re looking for:

• A degree in Product Design, Furniture Design, Industrial Design or similar
• Some practical design experience — this could be through industry placements, internships, freelance work or a first permanent role
• Strong CAD and Adobe Creative Suite skills
• A genuine interest in interiors, furniture and contemporary design trends
• Someone ambitious, organised and keen to develop within a fast-paced commercial environment
• A collaborative personality with the confidence to share ideas and contribute creatively

What’s on offer:

• A genuinely exciting opportunity to grow within a creative, expanding business
• Exposure to the full product development lifecycle
• A supportive, design-focused environment where your ideas are valued
• Long-term progression opportunities
• Staff perks and employee benefits
• Early finish on Fridays

This role would suit a graduate with some commercial exposure, or a “second jobber” looking to take the next step in their design career within a business where they can really make an impact. METPERM
