家具设计研究生课程具有高度的实验性和个性化，它通过家具和相关对象的概念，设计和构造来支持每个学生的艺术发展和对个性化设计哲学的阐述。所产生的作品从一种物体到有限或批量生产的设计，再到实验性的，基于概念的项目。美学考虑以及流畅地使用材料和工艺来支持单个设计概念至关重要。此外，我们为一些合格的学生提供了为期三年的学习途径，他们在预科课程中以研究生的身份就读RISD，利用一系列的本科和研究生课程为两年的MFA课程和论文工作做准备。教师可以在面试阶段为申请人提供最合适的建议。研究生在该部门设备齐全的工作室和商店工
Highly experimental and individualized, the MFA in Furniture Design supports each student's artistic development and articulation of an individual design philosophy through the conception, design and construction of furniture and related objects. The work you produce may range from one-of-a-kind objects to designs for limited or mass production and experimental, conceptually based projects. Aesthetic considerations are paramount, in conjunction with a fluent use of materials and processes to support individual design concepts. Additionally, we offer a few qualified students a three-year course of study path, where they attend RISD as a graduate student in a preparatory year utilizing a range of undergraduate and graduate courses in preparation for the two-year MFA curriculum and thesis work. Faculty are able to advise during the interview stage on the most appropriate track for applicants.
