Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He earned his Bachelor of Science in 1980 in Industrial Design from California State University at Long Beach. While at CSULB, Joe Ricchio was selected for CSU International Programs in Florence, Italy, where he immersed himself in the country’s art, design and culture.
Following a four-year tenure as product and graphic designer for Ron Loosen Associates, he founded Ricchio Design. From its inception, his consultancy has focused on product, furniture and graphic design.
He has designed seating, accessories and more for a virtual who’s-who of contract furniture, most notably the ROSCOE award winning Ricchio Chair. Many of his other designs have garnered recognition as well, including IBD, IDSA and Best of NeoCon awards.
From 2004 through 2018 Joe Ricchio was a faculty member of the Design Department at CSULB teaching Furniture Design. In 2004 he established the “Ricchio Design Retreat,” taking selected students for the next six years to visit the Milan Furniture Fair, and the following four years taking students to Neocon in Chicago.
