Mark Bolick

Director of Graduate Industrial Design

Mark Bolick attended various California schools before settling at the California College of Arts and Crafts in his hometown of San Francisco. Mark worked various jobs in Silicon Valley where he collaborated on projects with Nike, Motorola, IDEO, NASA, Stanford, MIT and The Exploratorium. In pursuit of his passions, Mark abandoned his career as an industrial designer to pursue his love for furniture. As Design Manager for William Sonoma Inc., Mark designed hundreds of production furniture pieces in China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, Vietnam, Italy and the United States. As Director of Furniture for Restoration Hardware, Mark assisted in the growth of the furniture division, including the launch of the company’s Bed and Bath catalog.

In 2006, Mark officially joined the family business named after his first daughter, India Rose. India Rose LLC is a vertically integrated home furnishings design firm that designs, develops, sources and manufactures home products all over the world for retailers such as Crate and Barrel, Anthropologie, Harry and David, and Jackson Perkins. Mark and his wife recently launched a wholesale line of textiles under the India Rose label. Their products can be found in boutiques and retailers throughout North America, as well as on their recently launched online store. Mark is currently developing a new brand named after his second daughter, Zarah Rae, which will specialize in furniture and accessories.
