Job Description
Company Snapshot:
Pavilion has been crafting furniture for over half a century at our headquarters in Miami Lakes. While others see the outdoors as an escape from everyday life, we see the outdoors as the way to prevent life from escaping us. We are craftsmen, designers and visionaries inspired by our city’s range and dynamic use of space. We are influenced by classic design principles you may find at Art Basel, blended with the vibrant street art you may find on the graffiti murals at The Wynwood Art District. Curious by nature, we see the outdoors as our very own playground. A place to satisfy our hunger for experimentation. A blank canvas where meaningful products are designed to activate deliberate moments in what we often describe as our busy lives. We call them moments of wonder. We are Pavilion and we are more than a furniture company.
