MTS Seating has promoted Josh Swy to the role of director of design. Before leading the product design functions at MTS, Swy served as a national accounts executive within the MTS sales department.
Swy created the new Catalyst chair in a contemporary, asymmetrical design featuring multi-color upholstery treatments. He also worked on an extended line of the company’s classic Moderne collection, as well as next-generation stacking chairs for major lodging companies.
A third-generation member of the founding family, Swy is a 2009 graduate of Northern Michigan University with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts and a major in furniture design. Prior to attending Northern Michigan, Swy attended the Cleveland Institute of Art on a scholarship majoring in fine arts.
“Our industry offers the challenge of combining high-style and comfort for products that require superior functionality and performance,” says Swy. “We understand that interior designers and their customers are hungrier than ever for bold design options to make statements with their projects, and MTS will continue to help make that happen.”
