Ellen's Next Great Designer

Scott Foley tasks seven designers handpicked by Ellen DeGeneres with their first furniture-making challenge: transforming basic raw materials into show-stopping signature pieces.

The remaining competitors work against the clock to incorporate a 3D geometric shape – from a humble cube to a 20-sided icosahedron – into a furniture design of their choice.

Jockeying for a spot in the finals, the designers face their most ambitious challenge yet: bringing a surprise element to a multifunctional piece of high-end furniture.
