About
The infrastructure behind creative pursuit.
Perennial is the practice of Elliott Rosenberg, based in Brooklyn. The studio helps independent furniture, lighting, and collectible designers build the business side of their practice.
Elliott holds dual degrees from RISD (Furniture Design, Graphic Design) and Brown University (Computer Science, Materials Engineering), and has spent the last six years working across product development, brand strategy, and operations for independent studios.
Perennial exists because most studios already make great work. What's missing is the pricing, outreach, and operational infrastructure to make that work pay for itself.
