Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, is a graduate art and design school organized around studio practice and close exchange among artists, architects, craftspeople, and designers. Its setting connects industrial design with craft and related spatial disciplines, giving the school a distinct context for object-based work.
The Industrial Design program leads to a two-year MFA in 3D Design. Students pursue self-directed studio research in furniture, lighting, and everyday objects, supported by critiques, mentorship, peer collaboration, critical studies, electives, and shared fabrication resources.
