Our Team
Todd G. Langenhorst
VP Sales + Business Development
I have had the privilege of leading in the Outdoor Living Furniture industry for over 20 years. Through many different financial markets and design seasons, I have learned that business is done in the fine details, to never take yourself too seriously, and that the companies who place customer success and vendor relationships first— are the ones who stick around.
I take pride in the relationships I have built and maintained with people from the many National accounts and Specialty dealers I have had the opportunity to work with, and all the beautiful furniture we have sold across North America. Each season bringing new challenges to evolve to meet consumer desires for their outdoor living spaces.
It is my goal from growing Linya’s presence in the U.S, that we manufacture furniture that defines outdoor spaces and creates long-term customer relationships supported by well-manufactured and timelessly designed outdoor living furniture. I am deeply involved in the product development process—inspecting and assembling production samples personally in order to set the high bar of manufacturing detail that our customers expect from us.
I will be your main contact for all existing and new customer inquiries. From sampling, pricing and even delivery of the final good—I will be your partner through every step of the way. Come grow with us.

Jonathan Bax
Director of Design
I have been designing and developing outdoor furniture for some of the industries most well-known brands for over 10 years, bringing innovation to the industry and blending the lines of indoor/outdoor living design to provide customers with seamless transitions into the outdoor areas of their homes. I have lived and worked through all the nuanced stages of product development, and my deep involvement with manufacturing teams has instilled in me a lifelong passion and respect for the product development process. From traveling to Asia to help source and procure the quality of raw materials that meet our standards and ethos, to final sample assembly and inspection, I take pride in my discernment for every detail.
My inspiration for our designs comes from my own outdoor experiences and memories from time spent with family at our lake home in Wisconsin. I design Outdoor Living spaces that appeal to the eye, are durable and comfortable, and facilitate deep interaction with the ones we love. I look forward to working with you and your team throughout every step of the design process.

Callie Langenhorst
Operations Manager
An activator by nature, my inability to sit still and passion for building out and fine tuning big picture ideas has afforded me some pretty amazing professional experiences.
This is now the third young company I've had the opportunity to work for and help grow—and the fact that I get to apply those experiences to now work with my father is an incredible honor and privilege. I am looking forward to the familiar, yet new challenges we will face as we grow Linya stateside. I will be your main contact for all supply chain, customer service, and open order SKU management between retail and e-commerce partners. I will also direct our marketing, web and tradeshow appearances.
With a background in contract manufacturing and B2B, I look forward to learning more about the retail sector, and supporting my passion project of working to bring sustainable manufacturing practices that promote and support the circular economy we are all working towards. We are committed to the end of the fast furniture industry, bringing you timeless designs made with integrity.
