Born in rural Massachusetts to a family of makers and tinkerers, Charles de Lisle grew up obsessed with how things work. After finding his way to the San Francisco Bay Area, he got involved with the design scene, first launching a line of lamps, then helping to start a commercial firm. Eventually de Lisle went out on his own, and has earned acclaim for his residential work, including placement on the AD100. On this episode of podcast he speaks with host Dennis Scully about why he loves clients who are risk takers, how a chance encounter with a Michael Taylor room changed his life, and why he likes to be called a decorator, not a designer.
