Description Hi there, we're Article.   Since 2013, we have been redefining the furniture industry one sofa at a time, it's not easy — it requires solving challenging, meaningful problems. This is where you come in, as a Product Designer (Decor),  you'll  play a key role in expanding Article's softlines and small decor categories, bringing a tastemaker's eye and a strong sense of style and trend to every product they create.
Why We Need You:
We're looking for a resilient and adaptable designer who thrives in a collaborative environment and has an eye for emerging trends. You'll need to be okay working with some ambiguity. 
This role combines hands-on design for textiles and decorative accessories. You will be collaborating across Design, Category Management/Merchandising, Technical Product Development, and our overseas partners/vendors. 
With the expansion of our Decor category (Rugs, Wall Art, Pillows, etc...), comes the need for an expert in textile design. This is a skill set we need to bolster within our design team; meaning, you would come in as the subject matter expert on print patterns, weaves, and fabrics. 
The designer will contribute to print and pattern development, drive ODM/ODM+ product creation, and ensure all products reflect Article's aesthetic and commercial expectations. As the category grows, this position offers a clear development path toward Softline Planning and deeper category ownership.
