A luxury resort tucked away in the foothills of Tennessee’s smoky mountains, Blackberry Farm defies easy categorization. Spread across thousands of acres, it encompasses everything from world class restaurants and spas to a fly fishing program, equestrian facility, farmstead and larder. Blackberry Farm also boasts a surprisingly robust design department, perhaps part of the reason why it has become a favorite getaway for luminaries in our industry.

On this episode, proprietor Mary Celeste Beall speaks with host Dennis Scully about balancing different goals for different parts of the business, why it sometimes makes sense to spend on illogical investments, and the story of tragedy and resilience in her own life that underpins all of her work at Blackberry Farm.

Based in Nashville, Stephanie Sabbe is a celebrated interior designer, and the owner of the home goods shop Heirloom Artifacts. But on top of the artful homes she crafts for clients, Sabbe is beloved by the design industry for her humor and her truthtelling—most of which are done on her must-follow Instagram account . Now she’s bringing her unique voice to a new book, Interiors of a Storyteller . On this episode of the podcast Sabbe speaks with host Dennis Scully about why the book is really a memoir dressed up as a design monograph, how runaway costs are changing the industry, and why a dollhouse posted to social media got her more clients than projects in magazines.

A to-the-trade approach to DTC sofas: How Benchmade Modern breaks the rules 50:41

Like many direct-to-consumer companies, Benchmade Modern takes out ads on Instagram and sells its sofas online. But unlike most of its competitors, the company is based out of a US manufacturing group—Artisant Lane, the owner of Lee Industries and American Leather. President Dan Campbell is also an unlikely DTC leader—he’s not a silicon valley entrepreneur, but a 17-year veteran of Holly Hunt. On this episode of the podcast, Campbell speaks with host Dennis Scully about how the lessons he learned from the trade apply to the direct-to-consumer world, why gray sofas are over, and why customers care more about design than lead times.

On this episode of the podcast, Noriega-Ortiz speaks with host Dennis Scully about learning to design like a painter, how he trains architects to think like designers, and why he writes a story for every project—but doesn’t always tell the client.

In an era when most designers pick a niche, Ben Pentreath is a proud generalist—his work spans everything from housing developments to private homes to a quirky retail operation, Pentreath & Hall. One of his most well-known projects is not a house but an entire village—Poundbury, a planned community in England championed by King Charles. However, Pentreath’s work for private clients is also highly celebrated, and he’s a regular on industry best-of lists. On this episode of the podcast, he speaks with host Dennis Scully about the personal tragedy that prompted him to develop a succession plan, why he takes every email inquiry seriously, and why American designers can never quite nail English style.
