David Zachary LLC
With the collective experience of 7 years in the ID field, principals David I. Wright and Zachary Feltoon have worked on projects ranging from design objects translated in candy, to architectural wall systems, to sustainably minded furniture for an international manufacturer/distributor. We believe that environmentally conscious design, both physical and emotional, must become ubiquitous with the notion of Industrial Design itself.
Prior to attending Pratt Institute, David Wright worked as a packaging assistant at the graphic design firm, DBD | Daniel Burton Dean. He chose to study Industrial Design at Pratt Institute to follow his passion for furniture and packaging design. David continued working for DBD and interned for Escalade Sports, where he applied for and received two patents on gaming equipment. David graduated Pratt Institute with a bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design and, after freelancing, co-founded David Zachary, LLC with Zachary Feltoon.
Zachary Feltoon attended Pratt Institute for Industrial Design and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2008. While at Pratt, Zachary interned for David Weeks Studio and Knoll Inc. in 2007-8 and 2005 respectively. After graduation Zachary joined Custom Resource Ltd. working on furniture, lighting and tabletop design before leaving at the end of 2008 to co-found David Zachary with partner David Wright. Zachary has spent time abroad studying product design and experimental ecology at the Bauhaus Universe in Weimar, Germany. Zachary has maintained a close relationship with Pratt Institute and returned to assist Professor Karen Stone in an course teaching three dimensional abstraction.
David Zachary's relationship with the Pratt Design Incubator has always been very rewarding. It has afforded us the ability to work closely with a wide range of design talents in a very collaborative setting. As young designers, it is an important community for us to be a part of. We are able to have discussions and gain perspective on business growth that is not always easy to come by when working purely independently.
"We are focusing primarily on design services. Our goal is to design beautiful and functional objects that maintain our sustainable ideals."
