Launched in Toulouse, France in 1985, Élitis is the opposite of a heritage textile brand. Its founder, Patrice Marraud des Grottes, wanted to break with stale tradition and present vivid artistic patterns, work with new technologies, and push mills to innovate. Known for challenging conventions, Élitis was once described as an “enfant terrible” in the world of high-end French fabric and wallcovering.
On this episode of the podcast, CEO of Élitis North America Olivier Thienpont chats with host Dennis Scully about the surprising resilience of the high-end market, the difference between American and French customers, and why no technological disruption can change what makes the design industry special.

Raised in Beverly Hills with a film director father, Madeline Stuart made her way into design working for up-and-coming screenwriters and actors. While the movies have played an enormous part in Stuart’s career, her work has the depth of a novel—carefully studied, richly textured, and endlessly layered. Her firm has been featured on Elle Decor’s A-List and the AD100, won numerous awards, and her work is regularly featured in top publications around the world.  
On this episode of the podcast, she speaks with host Dennis Scully about what she calls "scavenger decorating," the highs and lows of working with celebrities, and how she learned to walk away from bad clients—as quickly as possible.
