Who are we? We’re Curious Cub, one of India’s leading premium D2C brands building thoughtfully designed learning products for children aged 0–10 years. Lakhs of homes get our products every year. Built around Montessori-inspired learning, purposeful design, and child development, we are proudly among the Top 3 D2C Toy Brands in India.
Who are we looking for? We are looking for a creative and detail-oriented Furniture Designer to design innovative, child-safe furniture products from concept to production. The role involves transforming design briefs into production-ready solutions, creating technical drawings, and collaborating with the manufacturing team to deliver functional, high-quality furniture aligned with Curious Cub's design philosophy.
What you'll do?
- Design innovative furniture products for children, including beds, study tables, storage units, and play furniture (develop concepts for individual SKUs).
- Create 2D manufacturing drawings— dimensions, sections, joinery details, hardware callouts, cut lists, tolerances, 3D models with renders and catalogue
- Select suitable materials, finishes, and hardware while considering cost and manufacturability.
- Ensure child-safe, ergonomic, and functional product designs.
- Coordinate with the factory for prototyping, sampling, and production improvements.
- Optimize designs for flat-pack manufacturing and maintain standardized product specifications.
- Maintain a spec library so SKUs share hardware, board thicknesses and finishes across the range
Must-have
- 3+ years designing physical furniture products that actually went into production (not concept-only or interiors-only)
- Fluent in wood-based materials: BWP/BWR plywood grades, MDF/HDF, pre-laminated boards, solid woods (rubber wood, birch, mango, sheesham), veneers, edge banding (PVC/ABS)
- Working knowledge of finishes: PU vs water-based lacquers, melamine, low-VOC and low-formaldehyde (E1/E0) board grades.
- Confident producing shop-floor-ready drawings that a carpenter or CNC operator can execute directly
- Software: AutoCAD (2D), SolidWorks/Fusion 360/Rhino (3D), SketchUp + a render engine, Adobe suite
- Comfortable working to a given aesthetic direction rather than imposing their own
Good to have
- Experience with children's products, early-learning environments, or Montessori-informed design
- Metal and plastic exposure: powder-coated MS, rotomoulded/HDPE — useful for outdoor and hybrid products.
- Ability to cost a design roughly at concept stage
