Hey everyone its Rashad and this is Wear Many Hats presented by DAHSAR where we talk about your main gig then we talk about your side hustle.

Dino Sanchez is a designer working in objects, furniture, and spaces. He designs and builds out of his studio in Pennsylvania.

But really Dino does design beautiful pieces of furniture. The summit collection he recently put out he says expresses a direct visual language and a shared vocabulary of components.

Which is the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever read in regards to someone making furniture in this day and age.

I met Dino for the first time at the Commercial Type Dahsar party for commercial classics. He knows how to run a bar. Drinks were flowing, he basically ran the party with us which was amazing.

Dino loves our new collection with Commercial Type and to have his stamp of approval means a whale lot because Dino is an absolute legend.

Dino is a designer from a senior designer, creative director, former executive design director at Droga5 and partner over at Commercial Type.

Please welcome Dino.

Dino you’re the only Dino I’ve ever met and thats good because you’re a unique guy.

When I first met you, I was like who is this guy?

Picture leather jacket, pulls up in a cherry 1966 Chevy Chevelle, you’re a cool looking guy very smooth. Super fun at events and parties.

The last time I saw you was at the New Lab party down by the Brooklyn Navy Yard, so much fun, didn’t want the night to be over so we went to Pioneer works, then you capped it and then me and Christian Schwartz from episode 2 went to three diamond door which is a bar in bushwick and then ended up at nowadays which is a club in Ridgewood till 5 in the morning

Im sure you’ve done that before. Do you have any notable parties in NYC that you’ve gone to?

The commercial type party was so much fun though having it on soho, did you expect it to be like that? RSVP and all?

Furniture

So you’ve been in the furniture game for awhile, how did you start, what got you in?

Who are your favorite designers?

USM Hollers it was my first big purchase for my home. I don’t usually buy anything for my house because I’m a nomad.

Everyone has been getting into furniture lately which is cool

I built a shelf for my guitar amp and record player at my old house and painted it.

House

Your new house in PA is all over your Instagram and it’s absolutely gorgeous.

I feel like you and your family picked out every single piece when you redesigned it.

Tell me more about your house.

You also have another space in Jersey.

We’re so similar I basically grew up on Jersey beaches, wildwood, ocean city, cape may.

Why Delco, Delaware county and for those who don’t know I’m from Delaware county which is in Pennsylvania.

Delco accent Philly accent. Wooter ice from Rita’s wooter ice or at Rosatis.

Do you ever see your house being showcased on IG?

Commercial Type
