Lifestyle writer and journalist Abigail Stone turns the tables this week and interviews “Matters of Design” host, Demitri Sgourakis. Abigail entices Demitri to reveal how he transitioned from his modest and artistic beginnings as a painter, potter and sculptor into a cutting-edge interior designer. Demitri reflects on his days at the Fashion Institute of Technology and his early years designing at an east coast furniture showroom to his journey west where he became the design director for an international brand, working with an A-List clientele. Next, Demitri offers perspective on his own design process sharing the challenges involved in working with a variety of people, places and scenarios that make every new consultation both interesting and provocative. Finally, he shares how he channeled his life-long interest in art, fashion and interior design into a new luxury lifestyle brand, DEMITRI CHRISTIAN, INC., which he launched in 2013.
