Christiane Lemieux, co-founder and CEO of The Inside said, "Scalamandré is synonymous with gorgeous high-end design. The brand immediately conjures up Jacqueline Kennedy and the golden age of American decorating. We are thrilled to be partnering with Scalamandré to bring design of this quality to a whole new audience. It is our mission to bring decorating into the digital world and we could not imagine a better partner with which to start."
