Native Houstonian and current Denverite, Jerri Hobdy is an award-winning Furniture and Lighting Designer, who after over a decade designing best-selling pieces for the world’s top retailers and home brands, realized that elevated pieces made with circularity in mind, non-toxic materials and attention to the carbon intensity were missing in the design market.

Since launching Meno Home Studios as a furniture and lighting design studio and innovations incubator in 2018, Jerri continues to collaborate with a roster of the industry’s top retailers, hospitality partners and factories globally providing unique designs through a full-service design approach. In 2021 her dining chairs graced the Oscar’s in scores as the primary seating for Hollywood’s elite.

With an ever-expanding pursuit of more sustainable practices and an unparalleled design-led approach to material health, Jerri continues to focus the spotlight on the furniture industry’s intersection with some our greatest collective issues of waste, toxic materials in our homes and carbon-intensive manufacturing. With every new collaboration and product launch Jerri aspires to close the gap between material innovation and the furniture marketplace.
