Furniture Design is part of the annual exhibition series organized by the Faculty of Arts and Design at Van Lang University. The event features participation from lecturers and business partners, notably An Cuong Wood Joint Stock Company and Blum Vietnam Co., Ltd. – long-time collaborators who support students in crafting full-scale, 1:1 product prototypes.

At the exhibition, Van Lang students unveiled refined, creative, and high-quality furniture designs. Guided by the principle of experiential learning, Furniture Design 2024 offered a golden opportunity for students to apply classroom theories to practical design solutions. The event also served as a platform for networking with industry professionals, fostering knowledge exchange. Through this, students gained valuable insights into customer and market trends, forming a solid foundation in their future careers.

Dr. Le Long Vinh, Head of the Interior Design Major, shared: “Furniture Design 2024 provides an opportunity for Interior Design students to bring their ideas to life and showcase their furniture design projects to the community and businesses. The event stands as a testament to the program's emphasis on applied academics.
