Cold Meridian was founded in Portland, Oregon by Bo Knoblauch, a design and product leader with more than a decade of experience shaping premium home brands from concept to market.
Most recently, Bo served as Vice President of Product Development at Rejuvenation, a premium home brand within the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. portfolio, where he led long-range product architecture across lighting, hardware, furniture, bath, textiles, and decorative accessories. His work connected design direction, assortment strategy, sourcing, commercial performance, and cross-functional execution within a scaled retail business.
Bo holds a BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MA in Design from the University of Bergen in Norway. His perspective combines material literacy, European design sensibility, commercial discipline, and the operating experience required to bring product vision to market with clarity.
Cold Meridian is built from that intersection: design judgment, product structure, and executive-level stewardship for brands defining what comes next.
