Jeremy Bilotti and David Rosenwasser met at Cornell’s architecture school and bonded instantly over their shared love of modernist design. Over the past 10 years, they’ve built Rarify into a unique and multifaceted company, one that combines vintage resale, e-commerce, a contract furniture dealership, and a retail store in Philadelphia—not to mention a popular Instagram account that draws millions of views for its deep dives into the past, present and future of great furniture.

On this episode of the podcast, Bilotti and Rosenwasser tell host Dennis Scully how a $120,000 sale to a collector in the Philippines gave them the seed money to get started, why they’re looking to break up what they call the “commercial furniture mafia,” and why their ultimate ambition is to take what Knoll was in 1948 and remake it for the modern day.

Chris and Nicola Cox met as young sculptors, fell in love, and eventually got married—but it wasn’t until 2004 that their creative partnership evolved into a business. Since then, Cox London has grown dramatically: Today, the two lead a team of more than 100, and their studio is known for crafting bold, sculptural pieces that often take cues from nature—like a 12-foot-tall iron and brass chandelier shaped like an explosion of magnolia blossoms.

On this episode of the podcast, they speak with host Dennis Scully about the joys and challenges of working together as a couple, their efforts to support the next generation of artisans, and how they’ve navigated the transition from artists to entrepreneurs.

Krista Nye Nicholas and Tami Ramsay are the founders of Ramsay Nye, an interior design firm operating out of Athens, Georgia, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. What began as a comment on Pinterest evolved into one of the industry's most successful long-distance partnerships. Over the past decade, they've built a thriving design practice as well as a multiline showroom business, Cloth & Kind, which represents artisanal textile lines, lighting and furnishings  across twelve Midwestern states. Their recent decision to rebrand their design firm under their own names—while keeping Cloth & Kind for the showroom—marks a new chapter in their evolution.

On this episode of the podcast they speak with host Dennis Scully about how distance became the secret ingredient to their partnership’s success; how running a multiline showroom sharpens their design practice; and how an “eat, pray, love” moment taught them exactly what business they didn’t want to be in.

Christine Van Der Hurd is the founder of the iconic textile and rug studio Vanderhurd. After graduating from Winchester School of Art, she moved to New York in 1977 and quickly immersed herself in the city’s creative underground—spending time with Robert Mapplethorpe, Annie Leibovitz, and the Studio 54 crowd.

She began her career designing prints for fashion houses like Yves Saint Laurent and Liberty of London. Her work soon caught the attention of design legends like Angelo Donghia and Jack Lenor Larsen, leading to large-scale commissions for custom rugs and textiles. Over the course of her 50-year career, Christine has collaborated with some of the most distinguished designers in the industry. In 2024, House & Garden honored her with its Lifetime Achievement Award.

On this episode of the podcast she speaks with host Dennis Scully  about what it was really like arriving in New York in the late ’70s; how she learned to speak up for her business interests while working alongside her husband; and why designers like Kit Kemp and Rita Konig bring her in—not just to source– but to help shape their most important projects.

Scott Hudson is the founder and CEO of Henrybuilt. In the early 2000s, he left behind a career in publishing and tech to start a design company. Over time, Henrybuilt became known for high-end European “system” kitchens made in America to an exacting standard. Since then, Hudson has launched a more accessible brand, Space Theory, a software company, Symbolic Frameworks, and a publication called, Untapped.

On this episode of the podcast he speaks with host Dennis Scully about the eternal quest to stay connected with customers and follow their lead; where AI makes sense in design and where it doesn’t;  and why, for him, efficiency is never the end goal—flow is.
