Francisco Pinedo learned the art of tufting and channeling by reupholstering lowrider cars in his garage in South Central Los Angeles. His mother was an accomplished seamstress. These skills combined with an entrepreneurial spirit and devotion to comfort led to the founding of Cisco Home, with his wife Alba, in 1990.

A hallmark of comfortable California living, Cisco’s slipcovers became the company’s early calling card. The collection has grown to include a range of aesthetics – modern, casual and formal and standard options that include leg shapes and stains, seat and back fill variations and green technology. A founding member of the Sustainable Furniture Council, the wood used in the collection is FSC Certified and many of the other materials are organic and sometimes repurposed.

In late 2023, Cisco Home relocated its headquarters to High Point, NC, moving into the historic Highland Mill the company purchased in 2005.

“As a company we have always been inspired by beautiful buildings, when we first came across the Highland Mill, we knew it would be perfect for our future. Even though we bought the property in 2005, we are just scratching the surface of activating our place now. We moved our manufacturing from Los Angeles to High Point at the end of 2023 and are so excited to be a part of this community year-round. A unique aspect of visiting our showroom now is that our factory is on the second floor, so you have access to see how our product is made!” – Maurishka Pinedo, President

Cisco is open to the trade by appointment year-round and during most HPxD signature events.
