Scavolini Store Chicago

For the 10th anniversary of Boss Lady, ELLE DECOR and Scavolini evolve the conversation from individual leadership to legacy—celebrating the family ties that are shaping the future of design. In an industry often defined by singular creative voices, many of today's most compelling practices are powered by partnership: mothers and daughters, siblings, and multi-generational teams whose shared vision is redefining what modern design businesses can look like. Moderated by Daniele Busca, the conversation will feature Kristine Renee, Principal, and Deborah Costa, Principal of Design Alchemy, alongside Alisha Serras and Niki Serras, owners of Scavolini Store Chicago. Together, they'll explore how design legacies are built, how new generations influence established perspectives, and why collaboration across generations has become one of the industry's greatest competitive advantages—from creative vision to entrepreneurship and business leadership.
