Do you have a favorite design or collection, and why?
Every project I work on is my next favorite collection. Filigree, for in-
stance, because it features modern design in metallics and a new non-wo-
ven paper that looks handmade. I really enjoyed the chinoiserie-inspired
Tea House Group and loved designing the Courtyard Collection since that
was a completely new category. Texture Resource II was fun too — I loved
working with the faux skin embosses and trying different colors. I had to
stop myself at 85 SKUs though, because the book was getting too heavy!
When you’re not designing for Thibaut, how do you like to spend
your spare time?
I like to travel and visit new places, taking in the environment and ar-
chitecture. I get inspired by so many things, including antique documents,
museum exhibits and boutique stores.
Thibaut has been in existence since 1886. Why do you think the com-
pany has been so successful and what does it need to do going forward?
Thibaut has kept up with the traditional look its customers love and has
never let that go. People who are familiar with the brand can easily rec-
ognize if a pattern is from Thibaut. At the same time, the company has
ventured out to create the transitional and modern designs that are gaining
www
popularity in the market. We have kept a balance of modern designs while
not forgetting our traditional roots and will continue to keep that balance

in the future.
