We’ve been doing a lot of talk about Chuck, showing off his work, getting excited for this Friday’s Heritage event (have you gotten your tickets yet?), but we’ve never really talked about the man himself. So who is Chuck Saylor? Well, let’s dig in.

Chuck founded Izzy+ in 2001, with a plan to create furniture design that facilitates natural flow of ideas and creative collaboration. His big, hairy, audacious goal was to meet these thought processes with a physical space that would encourage them. Open areas, settings for closer interaction, and places to focus? That’s Chuck.

Here’s here Friday. Can’t wait to see you there!
