Hospitality Design with Christopher Ritchie | S27E1

Our next guest grew up in the great outdoors of Montana and Wyoming before taking a path down interior design. On today’s season premiere of The Chaise Lounge, Nick May sits down with Chris Ritchie of Christopher Zoltan Design. Chris Ritchie has a tight relationship with design. His mother was the designer for Yellowstone National Park and later had him help in her Atlanta firm. After his mother passed, he paved his own path to interior design and now has a successful design firm. Christopher Zoltan Design, based in Washington DC, specializes in hospitality and furniture design. Chris’ eye for furniture helped him get in the door of well-known hotel brands such as MGM Grand, Bellagio and Hollywood. It’s not about me I always tell my team. It’s about us. And when the client feels that, they come into our very cool office, they feel like it’s a whole team. They get the project, they get what’s going on, they understand it. It’s not just me pitching it. So I think that’s what’s really important with all of us. Christopher Ritchie Tweet It’s not about me I always tell my team. It’s about us.
