Adesso Furniture

Adesso, meaning "Now" in Italian was founded in 1994 by Lee Schaak, who leads the design force and Peggy Traub, a former Bloomingdale's DMM. They are headquartered In New York City, the design center of the USA. Adesso's specialties are fresh, contemporary, affordable lighting and furniture. Adesso is a design-driven company with a proven global appeal. Adesso is the rare mass lighting vendor with a full-scale domestic product line for independent upscale retailers, furniture stores, and contract/design markets.

Adesso was established in 1994 based on the belief that there was an under-served niche among consumers who sought high-end, contemporary home products at moderate prices. Since then, Adesso has not only revolutionized the home industry with its innovative products, but also gained substantial recognition for its well-designed and well-priced lamps and RTA furniture, quickly establishing itself as an industry leader and consumer favorite.

From the onset, when Adesso first introduced its lighting products, an array of colors and materials were utilized in the design, including metals, rice-paper, woven fabric, glass, resin, renewable bamboo wood and cork! It wasn't long before a new category of RTA furniture was added to the product line. Everything from tables, chairs, and pedestals to media and coat racks, and screens was included in this new assortment. The furniture was and remains fresh, contemporary and always reasonably priced.
