Rethinking RISD's Department of Furniture Design Website
Nov. 16, 2025

RISD's Department of Furniture Design has redesigned their website to serve as the go-to resource for all information relating to the department.

With a rich archive of works, and with more to come, RISD Furniture Design saw an opportunity to consolidate and share their research with a broader audience of professionals and prospective students.

To bring this vision to life, RISD Furniture Design partnered with Bureau Lucas, collaborating closely with RISD's in-house team.

Key features of the redesign include:

  • Foregrounds exhibitions to capture the department's emphasis on both theory and practical skills through the use of emerging materials and technologies.
  • Engaging and easy-to-navigate, encouraging prospective students to learn more and apply.
  • Consistent with RISD's existing Drupal framework, enabling the website to evolve dynamically over the course of the multi-year period.

The resulting redesign disseminates exhibitions to a global audience allowing industry professionals and prospective students to get an glimpse inside the renowned department.
