Job Title: Senior Manager – Furniture Design & Detailing
Location: Daman (Della Factory)
Department: Furniture Design & Technical Engineering
Employment Type: Full-Time
Role Overview
The Senior Manager – Furniture Design & Detailing will lead the technical design, detailed shop-drawing development, and factory prototyping for bespoke luxury loose furniture, high-traffic commercial fit-outs, hospitality projects, and custom joinery at the Daman manufacturing facility.
This role acts as the critical bridge between creative design concepts and factory-floor execution transforming complex, high-spec designs into structurally sound, cost-effective, and flawlessly finished furniture for luxury residences, boutique hotels, resorts, and premier commercial spaces.
Key Responsibilities
1. Technical Detailing & Production Drawings

Translate conceptual designs, renders, and interior mood boards into precise 2D/3D manufacturing drawings and CAD/shop drawings for high-end residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces.
Create comprehensive Bill of Materials (BOM), hardware specifications, and hardware cutouts for luxury loose furniture, casegoods, upholstered items, custom wall paneling, millwork, and joinery.
Ensure clear callouts for joinery methods, structural reinforcement, tolerances, material finishes, and assembly mechanisms tailored to both handcrafted luxury pieces and large-scale commercial runs.

2. Sector-Specific Execution (Hospitality, Commercial & Residential)

Hospitality & Commercial: Design for durability, high foot-traffic, safety compliance, and rapid site installation without compromising aesthetic appeal (e.g., fire-retardant materials, heavy-duty hardware, modular joinery).

Job Expectations:

High-End Luxury Residential: Ensure extreme precision in fine woodworking, rare veneer matching, specialized metal/glass integration, and complex custom finishes tailored to bespoke client requirements.

3. Design Innovation & Prototyping

Oversee the end-to-end prototyping and mock-up process (MOCK rooms for hospitality/commercial clients) alongside factory artisans, carpenters, and upholstery teams.
Evaluate initial production samples, identify structural or aesthetic flaws, and refine drawings for final client approval and full-scale production.
Drive material and process innovation across solid woods, veneers, engineered timber, metals, stone, leather, acrylics, and specialized architectural hardware.

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Factory Operations

Work closely with Production, Purchase, Project Management, and Quality Control (QC) teams to resolve technical manufacturing challenges on the factory floor.
Coordinate with procurement teams to source specialized hardware, luxury fabrics, commercial-grade finishes, and raw materials.
Support project teams to ensure client specifications, tight hospitality/commercial project timelines, and budget constraints are met.

5. Team Leadership & Quality Control

Lead, mentor, and review the output of a team of furniture designers, CAD draftspeople, and technical detailers.
Establish standard operating procedures (SOPs) for drawing formats, design libraries, and technical documentation.
Conduct strict quality audits at the raw material, assembly, and final finishing stages prior to dispatch and site installation.

Qualifications & Experience

Education: Degree or Diploma in Furniture Design, Industrial Design, Product Design, Wood Technology, or Architecture (NID, CEPT, or equivalent top-tier institution).
Experience: 5-8 years of hands-on experience in furniture design, joinery detailing, and manufacturing, with at least 3–5 years in a managerial role within a manufacturing plant.
Portfolio Requirement: Proven track record delivering furniture and joinery solutions across Luxury Residential, Boutique Hospitality/Hotels, and High-End Commercial Fit-Outs.

Technical Mastery

Proficiency in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino, 3ds Max, or SketchUp.
Deep knowledge of wood engineering, joinery, veneer matching, metal fabrication, upholstery techniques, and high-end surface finishes (PU, Polyester, Lacquer, Polish).
Extensive expertise in architectural and furniture hardware systems (Blum, Hettich, Hafele, Sugatsune, etc.).
Strong understanding of commercial/hospitality standards, material performance, and durability requirements
