Students who want to pursue a master's diploma project at the First Furniture Design Studio are required to earlier:
- participation in the First Furniture Design Studio for at least two semesters
- participation in classes of any furniture design studio for a minimum of three semesters, including one in the First Furniture Design Studio

 DIPLOMA PROJECT

A year-long task whose goal is to carry out a design task that is a solution to the project problem formulated by itself. Project Work aimed at presenting the mastery of skills: original, own artistic expression; conscious use of a specialist workshop; creative search for solutions to obtain individual project realizations that meet the assumed ergonomic, functional, formal and artistic requirements.

Scope of the task:
- design assumptions of the furniture (scenario)
- conceptual design of furniture (sketches of drawings, visualizations)
- furniture draft models in the reduction scale
- basic design of the furniture in a scale of 1: 5 (rectangular projections + perspective view)
- executive design of the furniture in 1: 1 scale * (working drawing in accordance with the implementation requirements)
- study model of furniture in 1: 1 scale (from substitute materials)
- implementation of a 1: 1 furniture prototype (from target or replacement materials)
- as-built technical documentation of the furniture *
- description of the furniture
- photographic documentation of the completed piece of furniture

The design documentation of the design process (design assumptions, conceptual sketches, pictures of mock-ups, basic design and photo or visualization of the completed piece of furniture) should be presented on a 100 × 50 cm (horizontal) format board.

* Technical documentation, depending on the needs and its purpose and character, can be a set of views and sections on a 1: 1 scale, A4 format notebook, containing assembly and executive drawings of elements in 1: 1 scale, or a set of executive drawings prepared for specific device.

Students who complete semester tasks receive one grade for the project and technical development using the full, applicable grading scale included in the Study Regulations from 0 to 5+.

Grading components: independence of work 20% rating of the degree of commitment 20% level of project submission 15% level of artistic and substantive content of the project 20% correctness and diligence of documentation preparation 15% realization of the prototype 10%

The subject is passed with an attendance of no less than 70%
