CEO

Louis Renzo

Louis Renzo
Louis Renzo was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Surrounded by hardworking individuals, Louis’s parents instilled a strong work ethic in him that has followed him throughout his career. Determined to make a name for himself, Louis started working at the age of 13 and went on to own that very same establishment by 21.

Louis spent his early years in the business world learning to innovate industries that were in danger of becoming irrelevant. This natural passion and drive brought Louis great success as he entered other endeavors. Through industry contacts and connections, Louis heard about the opportunity to purchase the illustrious textile house, Scalamandré. Confident in his ability to use his extensive business acumen to run the historical brand, Louis signed on as Scalamandré’s CEO in 2009 with his sons Christopher and Louis Jr. by his side.

Louis and Steven Stark had known each other for years before they began discussing the possibility of a partnership in 2015. It soon became clear that the brand presence of Scalamandré in the textile world would bring newfound exposure to the Stark Fabric brands, so a deal was made. The merger was finalized in 2016 with Steven’s son Chad Stark stepping up as Scalamandre's President. Louis runs the day-to-day operations as CEO, while Chad takes on strategy meetings and IT functions.

Today The House of Scalamandré continues to grow and expand, offering luxury textiles, furniture and lighting from all corners of the world. Looking toward the future, Louis recognizes the changing tides of the industry and is adamant on adjusting with these changes to fit the needs of today’s consumer, while also honoring our company history.
