What Cliff Young does

Cliff Young is a privately held, New York–based furniture design studio founded in 1968 that designs, manufactures, and sells home furnishings, lighting, rugs, textiles, and accessories to luxury residential customers and interior design professionals. Its core offering is the proprietary CY Signature Collection of customizable modern furniture (tables, seating, casegoods, bedroom, lighting, and accessories) produced with in-house craftsmanship, complemented by a fully bespoke design service that delivers 100% custom solutions tailored to client specifications and spatial requirements.

The company assembles a multi-brand assortment by curating third-party designer collections — Kupoli (Cameron Design House), Milo Baughman, Thayer Coggin, Lasvit, and the Azzolina Textiles sub-brand — alongside its proprietary lines. Distribution is concentrated in a single flagship showroom at 200 Lexington Ave, Showroom #505 in the New York Design Center, paired with an e-commerce storefront at cliffyoungltd.com and a dedicated trade login portal for interior designers and architects. Pricing is quote-based for custom pieces and unit-based for floor samples and Quick Ship inventory, with product price points ranging from roughly $350 (accent dining chairs) to over $14,000 (dining tables) and $13,600 (sectionals).

Cliff Young serves two primary customer segments: trade professionals (interior designers and architects) who specify pieces for residential and commercial projects, and high-net-worth individuals seeking custom or curated designer furniture for premium residences. Revenue is generated through one-time sales across furniture, lighting, rugs, and textiles, with discounted floor-sample inventory (up to 80% off) and a Quick Ship program supplementing the bespoke mix. Marketing runs through digital lookbooks, the CY Journal, email newsletter, trade account infrastructure, and the physical showroom; the company maintains no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no outside investor base per the available data.
