EDESE DORET, JR: INTERIOR AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER
COMING TO AMERICA
Opulence is not what Edese Doret, Sr., the father of two bright boys, had in mind when he moved his family to the Bronx, NY to escape the political climate in Port Au Prince, Haiti. Although he spoke very little English and barely knew anyone, he expected his two sons to experience the American dream by becoming doctors, but in 1991 Edese, Jr. launched Edese Doret Industrial Design, Inc. and has taken the whole world by storm by making every billionaire’s wildest aviation dreams come true!
STREET CRED
The Bronx was bustling just like Port-Au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, and Edese Doret’s elementary school art teacher noticed his artistic hand. As he continued to matriculate at the High School of Art and Design, he studied industrial design, and excelled in painting and sketching, so much so that a friend of his father at the school constructed his first drafting table. In his spare time, Doret earned street cred and money by crafting bespoke graffiti designs on the back of neighborhood kids’ denim jackets in the 1980’s. His studies expanded to furniture design, private aircraft interiors, and consumer products at the Pratt Institute where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design in 1991.
STATUS QUO
Initially, Doret worked briefly as a dutiful recent graduate and followed the design strategies of his employer, but providence would have Edese, Jr. to assert design ideas that were well received by a client while his employer was out of the office; which gave him the confidence to bet on himself and establish his business. Since then, many of the world’s billionaires have come to esteem Edese Doret Industrial Design, Inc. as their best kept secret and as discerning clients, they understand that it will take about a year to complete their project from hand drafting to its final design production. What attracts and retains Edese Doret, Jr’s. clients is an A-Z package that consists of drawing the initial concepts to finalizing the engineering blueprints to creating documents that can be used to build aviation interiors….which most of his peers can’t do!
“When you enter my airplane it feels more like you are in a yacht or a boutique hotel or a high end New York apartment, whether it has a classic style or a very modern style, essentially - Edese Doret, Jr. ”
