Furniture Designer — Orvi, Jaipur
At Orvi, furniture is made with stone, wood, and metal — often in combination, mostly by hand, always with a high bar for craft. We're looking for a designer who is as comfortable reading a technical drawing as they are conceiving a new collection. Someone who can sit with artisans in the sampling room, figure out why a joint isn't working, and fix it , then walk back to their desk and design something worth making.
Key Responsibilities
· The role is roughly 60% technical, 40% creative and both matter equally.
· On the technical side: producing precise CAD drawings and construction documents, working closely with our sampling team and artisans to engineer designs that are buildable, identifying gaps in our machinery and recommending what needs to be added, and being the person who follows through until the prototype is right.
· A significant part of this technical work is B2B-facing. You will receive drawings and design briefs directly from international buyers — and your job is to read them accurately, ask the right questions, and convert them into production-ready drawings that our artisans and sampling team can execute without ambiguity. This requires both technical precision and commercial awareness.
· On the creative side: designing furniture collections that are innovative, material-honest, and built for B2B export markets. These are not vanity pieces — they need to be genuinely well-designed and manufacturable within price brackets that work for trade buyers. The ability to hold both creative quality and cost discipline in the same thought is essential.
Who you'll work with
You will report to our Design Head and work in close coordination with the Founder as well as the B2B Exports team, who will be your direct line to buyer expectations, market feedback, and live project briefs. This is a collaborative role and the best ideas here come from the conversation between design, exports, and the making floor.
Who we're looking for
- 3–5 years of experience in furniture design, with a portfolio that shows both drawing ability and finished product
- Strong command of AutoCAD; working knowledge of SketchUp, Rhino, or equivalent
- Demonstrated ability to read and interpret buyer or client drawings and translate them into accurate production documentation
- Real understanding of how furniture is made — joinery, material behaviour, production constraints
- Comfortable working directly with craftspeople and translating design intent into making instructions
- Proactive by nature — this role requires someone who moves things forward without being asked
