CHRIS PANICHELLA
After completing undergraduate studies in industrial design, I worked on a variety of projects from consumer products, to retail spaces, to production furnishings. When looking at the current offerings in outdoor furniture, I was overwhelmed with the same old boring designs that factories continue to knock off. That’s what inspired me to submit designs to outdoor manufacturers. The industry is really beginning to change with companies like CMS, forging the way with new and exciting concepts.
