Episode 25 - Trevor Fulmer
Trevor Fulmer Discusses Advertising, Lighting and Interior Design
We’ve known Trevor Fulmer before he launched his rug line, but we got to know him better at his launch event in 2024. It felt like a family reunion, meeting his parents and entourage of relatives who were all so proud of him.
Two years later, we finally were able to get Trevor into the Boiler Room to ask him about his origins in interior design and his boombox story—it’s an amazing one that involves both Debbie Gibson and something much bigger than something you can fit on your shoulder: a white Toyota Previa.
With over a decade in advertising at some of the most prestigious firms on the East Coast, including stints as creative director, it made sense to us that Trevor’s line of luxury rugs—the Foundations Collection—are so well thought out. The backstory to some of his designs might bring a tear to your eye, in both humorous and heartfelt ways; they’re that...authentic, reflecting back to us the formative moments in his life. They’re also made with all natural materials and purchased directly from the weavers, as per the business model of Landry & Arcari, his partner in this endeavor.
We were also able to hear so much more about Trevor’s career in experiential advertising and his transition to interior design. Plus, a totally unexpected sidebar on one of the greatest films ever made, Jaws.
