Remy Renzullo is a young American designer, but he’s already packed a lifetime’s worth of accomplishments into a decade-long career: being named to the AD100, collaborating with Watts 1874 on a fabric line, and decorating Castle Howard, a baroque manor house in the English countryside. Next on the list? Opening a hotel in Tuscany.

On this episode of the podcast, Renzullo speaks with host Dennis Scully about why there’s a ‘no ChatGPT’ rule in his office; why he loves close, collaborative relationships with clients; and why he doesn’t have a website, and isn’t planning to make one.

Neal Beckstedt was already an accomplished designer before he went out on his own, working for Arquitectronica and serving as studio director for S. Russell Groves before finally putting up his own shingle in 2010. Since then, his tastefully warm take on modernism has won him high-profile projects and accolades in the press, including inclusion on Elle Decor’s A-List and the AD100. On this episode of the podcast, Beckstedt speaks with host Dennis Scully about why so many interior designers are Virgos, scaling his firm up and then back down again, and why great taste doesn’t happen overnight.
