A household name in the industry and beyond, Nate Berkus rose to prominence in the early 2000s through his appearances on the Oprah Winfrey show. But despite becoming a celebrity in his own right, he never left the industry behind—he’s been a working designer for three decades, taking on clients, releasing collections, collaborating with his husband Jeremiah Brent, and publishing his own work to widespread acclaim. On this episode of the podcast Berkus speaks with host Dennis Scully about his lifelong obsession with antiques; his new book on the foundations of a great home; and why, despite having every opportunity to ditch the grind of client work, he lives for the daily challenges of being a designer.
