He notes that his materials library, Sample House, offers immediate physical access to curated materials, allowing designers to explore unique textures and materials in an inviting space.
Describing Sample House as a "community-based enterprise," DeChillo reflects on his journey through various design roles that culminated in the creation of this tactile-centered library.
DeChillo points out, "A lot of the big names... can just follow what the trends are, and do what's safe," highlighting his wish to inspire more daring design choices.
