"Efthemiou has an innate understanding of how Gorman's is positioned in the marketplace as a style leader and appreciates our company's commitment to exceeding customer expectations," Lias said. "His extensive experience in the home furnishings sector and notable leadership skills will be a complement to our current Lakeside design center team."

"Gorman's is something I knew I wanted to be part of for a very long time. Their team of more than 60 designers and 100 best brands is impressive to say the least," Efthemiou said. "The company provides the resources-so working with or without a designer-homeowners can create beautiful homes that truly reflect the personalities of their inhabitants."
