Rodolph Owner and Founder Cynthia Nugent first fell in love with textiles while living in South East Asia. Discovering Jim Thompson's Thai Silks, Cynthia developed a means of distribution in the United States for their decorative accessories and couture fabrics. She went on to facilitate the development of their home furnishing collection, introducing it to the design community in 1982.

Expanding to include high-end European and American textile mills, Rodolph's first exclusive collection, Metamorphosis, was a line of contemporary fabrics designed to debut in the hospitality and contract markets.

This glamorous garment, constructed from the designs of the Metamorphosis collection, was the centerpiece of a theatrical dance performance at NeoCon in 1990.

Together with Lori Weitzner, Laura Guido-Clark, and Beverley Thome, Cynthia developed a collection of modern motifs created with innovative techniques.
