Celebrity designer Angelo Surmelis, founder of angelo:HOME, recently sat down with Surya during October 2012's High Point Market to discuss his design process and inspirations. Host of HGTV's hit makeover show, Rate My Space, also known for his work on TLC's Clean Sweep and Lifetime's Merge, Angelo helps people redefine their lives through the power of design.
In designing his rug collection for Surya as well as his popular furniture line, Angelo finds diverse inspirations from the world of fashion and his travels across the globe. He bridges the gap of old and new -- bringing a twist to the familiar with fresh new color palettes and clever plays on scale to create his signature aesthetic.
