David Pesso has a degree in industrial design from Rochester Institute of Technology and was initially influenced by the work of Wendell Castle (known as the “originator of art furniture”). Later, as a designer at Vinick Associates, he focused on interior design, retail storefront design, architectural millwork and signage. He served as a partner at Advent Studio, where he was able to concentrate on design and development for the contract furniture industry. Pesso founded New Studio in 1989 as an industrial design consulting firm specializing in product design & development, architectural millwork, exhibit design, and brand development. His work has garnered recognition throughout the design world. He holds licenses for more than 300+ furniture designs, and has been awarded 18 design patents.
