Chili

Chief Comfort Officer

Chili takes comfort very seriously. As DSO Furniture’s Chief Comfort Officer, she’s responsible for quality control on anything soft, cozy, or nap-worthy. When she’s not conducting rigorous sit tests, Chili keeps morale high, meetings appropriately interrupted, and the team reminded that every great workspace should feel as good as it looks.

Her design philosophy: If you wouldn’t curl up on it, why would anyone else?
