My name is Joshua Dycus, a Furniture Designer and Engineer working in Los Angeles, CA.
I attained a B.S. in Industrial Design from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. While working towards my degree, I worked in independent fabrication shops, as a bicycle mechanic, and designed and built a handful of my own products. Before returning to college, I travelled across the US, Europe, and Japan as a touring musician.
Upon completing my degree, I moved to New York City and began working as a production technician for a modern lighting company, Stickbulb. While there I led the manufacture of an award-winning light installation, Ambassador, for the 2017 Collective Design Fair. I worked closely with the Creative Director and Lead Designer to refine a design that we manufactured in-house with a CNC router.
In 2017, I started working at Dmitriy & Co as a Senior Designer and Furniture Production Coordinator where I played a vital role in co-designing and engineering the brand's furniture collections. In 2019 I served as the principal designer for one of the brand's most publicized forms, the Dahlem Sofa.
In 2020 I became the Director of Design and Development at Dmitriy & Co, where I now lead a team for the design, development, and engineering of the brand's furniture assortment. Most notably are the recently launched, Palla Collection and the award winning Amarn Daybed.
Throughout my time at Dmitriy & Co, I have designed and co-designed 20+ products and engineered them for manufacture. I've also received multiple joint design patents within the US, EU, and Canada.
