Job Description
Graduate Product / Furniture DesignerMid Kentc.£30k-£35k DOE
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
