Furniture design
Furniture design is also undertaken by interior designers and, traditionally, by architects. The designers in this field have a good knowledge of different kinds of wood, types of wood grown in a particular region. Apart from wood furniture is also made by plywood, metal, steel, plastic. Designers study the workings of machineries that are used to cut the materials when the design has to be prepared as a model before it is implemented on large scale.

Industrial design.
Industrial designers develop and prepare products for manufacture. The designers create products that relate to human usage and behaviour. They can also be called as product designers.
These designers create models and dummy to test the product. They have to prepare 2D drawings and illustrations to assist in their models workings. It is their job to select select components and materials, resolve assembly and manufacturing details and produce digital and documentary instructions for others involved in the manufacturing process. They organise tooling to prepare for production and develop and oversee subsequent adjustments and corrections to the product.
Industrial designers often work as part of a product development team. While other specialists such as electronics designers and mechanical engineers work on circuit boards and mechanical mechanisms the industrial designer may be working on the overall structure of the product, its appearance and the way in which the user will operate it.
Industrial design can overlap significantly with engineering design and in different countries the boundaries of the two concepts can vary, but in general engineering focuses principally on functionality or utility of products, whereas industrial design focuses principally on aesthetic aspects of products.
