Dezeen School Shows: we've selected seven student furniture designs that have been featured on Dezeen School Shows that represent conceptual narratives.
These undergraduate and postgraduate furniture projects include chairs, wardrobes and tables, all of which are designed with conceptual themes in mind, presenting as both functional objects and creative commentaries.
Featured in this roundup is a project exploring Poland's design history, a dining table which encourages eating as play and a room divider which utilises textiles to illustrate themes of mythology.
The selection of projects comes from students on furniture design courses, from institutions including Vilnius Academy of Arts and Savannah College of Art and Design.

Edible Playscapes: A Hands-On Dining Experience by Alejandra Alarcón Alejandra Alarcón, recipient of the Designers in Residence grant at EMMA Creative Centre, explores the intersection of food and art within social and political and cultural contexts.
Her table design Edible Playscapes proposes eating as play and encourages western diners to consume without cutlery.
"By reimagining the dining table as a playscape, it empowers individuals to explore with their hands and reflect on our dining rituals," said Alarcón.
