The College of Home Furnishing and Art Design at Northeast Forestry University offers five undergraduate programs: Furniture Design and Engineering, Industrial Design, Product Design, Environmental Design, and Packaging Engineering. The school boasts three provincial-level first-class undergraduate program construction sites in Industrial Design, Product Design, and Environmental Design.
The Furniture Design and Engineering program originated from the Wood Industry program established during the founding of Northeast Forestry University. In 1953, the Wood Industry program was renamed Wood Machinery Processing. As China's earliest higher education institution to establish a teaching system integrating wood machinery processing, fine woodworking, and furniture production technology, it formed the earliest prototype of China’s furniture design and manufacturing discipline. In 1984, the Furniture and Interior Decoration program was established, renamed Furniture Design and Manufacturing in 1986, upgraded to an undergraduate program in 1994, approved as a MOE Featured Program in Wood Science and Engineering (Furniture Design, Manufacturing, and Interior Design) in 2003, officially established as Furniture Design and Engineering by the Ministry of Education in 2019, enrolled its first cohort of undergraduate students in 2020 (awarding Bachelor of Engineering degrees), established a Furniture Design and Engineering discipline under the Forestry Engineering discipline in 2022, and began recruiting master's students in 2024 (awarding Master of Engineering degrees). Leveraging the strong faculty resources of Northeast Forestry University's national first-class discipline "Forestry Engineering," the program possesses extensive educational experience, excellent teaching and internship conditions, profound industry influence, and outstanding social reputation.
