Years of designing and building houses offered Chad Dorsey one very specific insight: good stone is something you won’t soon forget. “Stone is such a big part of the look and feel of the home,” says the designer. “Alongside architecture, it’s the stone that you take away — on the floors, the walls, and the fireplace. These are places you want to put energy and budget into. They’re that important.”
Dorsey, a trained architect with offices in Dallas and Los Angeles, had been working with fabricators on one-of-a-kind stone fireplace surrounds for years before launching STRIKE, a brand dedicated to that art, in 2020. Now with Ann Sacks, Dorsey has created six unique profiles with myriad color and finish choices, for an unprecedented array of room-defining luxury.
