In this study, the transformation of “concept” into “form” is dealt within the scope of a one term in-class activity conducted in the course “Furniture Design 1”, given in Hacettepe University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design. Firstly, the students were asked to transform the given “concepts” into “forms” independent from function; afterwards they were asked to functionalise their outputs. Concurrently, the students were expected to design the furnishings involved in their final projects. These two processes were conducted during the whole term. The aim of this study is to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of these two methods. In the first process, in which the “concept” is transformed into “form”, how the students approach to the concept, and how they symbolise them were observed. In the latter stages, the transformation phases, production details and material selections were dealt in terms of reaching the form-content harmony.
