Furniture designers are in high demand, said British design duo Barber Osgerby at a talk hosted by Dezeen in collaboration with Fredericia during London Design Festival.
“One thing that we’ve noticed recently is that there is a scarcity of industrial and furniture designers,” said designer Jay Osgerby.
He noted that students who traditionally would have studied furniture design are now more likely to go into digital industries, such as video game design.
“We’ve noticed over the years, we used to have so many CVs through the door, and they’ve almost completely stopped now” added designer Edward Barber.
The discussion took place at Fredericia’s London showroom on 21 September and was moderated by Dezeen’s deputy editor Cajsa Carlson. The panel was made up of design duo Barber Osgerby, and Rasmus Graversen, head of design at Fredericia.
