Amini Innovation

What Amini Innovation does

Amini Innovation Corporation (AICO), founded in 1988 and headquartered in Pico Rivera, California, designs, manufactures, and distributes luxury residential furniture under the Michael Amini brand. The company employs between 101 and 250 people and operates as a privately held, founder-controlled business. Its core technology is rooted in traditional luxury furniture craftsmanship, including marquetry, marble pilasters and reliefs, velvet and chenille upholstery, Swirl Mahogany veneer, gold accents, and Old World-inspired design elements drawn from Spanish, French, and Italian aesthetics. The product portfolio spans bedroom, dining room, living room, and home office furniture, plus lighting, soft home (bedding), and home decor items including rugs produced under a licensed partnership with Nourison.

The company's business model is exclusively B2B wholesale, with no direct-to-consumer sales. Amini Innovation distributes through a network of over 500 authorized dealer locations across North America (USA, Canada, Mexico) and 13+ international markets spanning the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; dealers set retail pricing independently, and customers must contact authorized retailers for quotations. The company supports this distribution model with the AICO Portal (a dealer login system for ordering and product information), interactive digital flipbook catalogs, and an active social media presence to drive consumer brand pull-through. The customer base is split between high-net-worth residential consumers seeking coordinated luxury home furnishings and interior designers accessing the brand through trade programs. Named enterprise-level dealers include Star Furniture, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Raymour & Flanigan, and El Dorado Furniture, alongside mid-market accounts such as Baer's Furniture and Gallery Furniture. The company has no external institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding history.
