two friends one dream
It all started when...
In 1990 Leonardo Paradiso was breaking in his new hire, John Lindsay, then a nineteen year old college student. At the same time Leonardo’s son, Alessandro, left a promising job with one of Chicago’s up and coming architectural firms to join the family business, restoring rental properties in the Lakeview neighborhood. John Lindsay and Alessandro Paradiso became co-workers and fast friends.
For the next twenty years they maintained their friendship and mutual mentorship. Alessandro gave John access to his vast design library, and John shared his woodworking facilities with Alessandro. In 2010 John and Alessandro joined forces to become co-designers of a New Breed of furniture.
