At 12 years old, Jerome Caruso discovered his career when a friend of his father’s introduced him to industrial design. He soon entered a General Motors contest for futuristic car concepts, and after working on his idea for months, he discovered that design could be his future. “That was when I realized what I wanted to do--especially after winning an award," he explains. He went on to study at the University of Copenhagen, and eventually opened a practice in Brussels with clients across Europe.
With a uniquely hands-on approach, involved in each stage of the design process, Caruso has garnered over seventy-five design patents. He particularly enjoys challenging projects, and remembers the Celle® Chair as the "Mt. Everest of fun. At the beginning, I imagined a highly engineered, 'intelligent' surface that could be the ultimate in seating comfort. I envisioned hundreds of tiny 'cells'--each one consisting of a pad with spring-like loops that would both support and respond to different anatomical areas." And after years of development and experimentation, the Celle chair, designed for Herman Miller®, closely follows that original creative concept.
