Luke Zito

Industrial Design / MA

I appreciate beautiful aesthetics very much, but what makes me far more excited is a clever, simple way to accomplish a physical or mechanical task.

For the last several years I have been making products (mostly furniture) which has helped me develop a strong connection with the physical world and the way things work. My design work can best be described as minimal, natural, and timeless.

The Ferro table combines steel and Trex composite decking, which is made from 95% recycled materials. Together they display a sense of strength and minimalism that has a low environmental impact.
