THE RS STUDIO

Catherine Schmetter & Joseph Palmer – Co-founders/Designers

Kearny, NJ

A place for creation, collaboration, and inspiration.

About the Owners

Catherine and Joseph met on the dance floor over 20 years ago. They both love lindy hop and all things swing. They soon realized that they also shared a love for meaningful, timeless design, so they decided to combine Catherine’s decades-long success in the apparel industry with Joseph’s penchant for engineering and spatial relationships and created their first home decor pieces. The Russell Sutter brand grew from there!

Catherine’s superpower

She sees the unseen. She has an intuitive way of thinking that drives her talent and business acumen.

Joseph’s superpower

He is able to pinpoint, visualize and analyze any issue and get to the heart of it.

About the Studio

The RS studio is located within Kearny Point, a 260,000 square foot creative office building, in Kearny, New Jersey where the team can find inspiration among other creative companies. The Russell Sutter team, consisting of designers, a draper, a cutter, and sewers has established a base of operations here with room to grow.

How is the company working towards sustainability?
