In the early 70’s he met the famous sculptor and architect Edward J. Krumpe. Edward owned a manufacturing company specializing in decorative lighting and architectural elements made out of plaster. He maintained this business for over 40 years, and at that point was ready to retire. In 1972 Louis bought the company to continue Edward’s legacy. He gave the company a new name – Sirmos. The word comes from Greek meaning “ to mold”, “to shape”, “to style”. Throughout the years he has created exclusive collections of distinctive furnishings and lighting, available only through the professional network of interior designers and architects. Sirmos was sold in 2005, there after the pieces were made of polymer rather than plaster.
