What Zafferano America does

Zafferano America LLC is the official North American distributor for Italian-designed Zafferano cordless lighting and colored glass tableware, operating from Secaucus, New Jersey since 2019 with a 13-employee team and an NYC showroom at 121 Varick St. The company's core product surface centers on rechargeable, cordless LED lamps built on proprietary contact-based charging, touch control, and replaceable lithium battery technology (~450 charging cycles), with flagship collections Poldina Pro and Pina Pro supplemented by Wi-Fi enabled smart variants (Sister Light, Royal Family), solar-powered lines (Klewe x Zafferano, Zafferano Solar), hardwired pendants and sconces, and a separate Italian-designed colored glassware and barware portfolio (Lido, Flaminia, Teca, Veneziano Mixology). Distribution combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce on a Shopify-powered storefront (free shipping over $99 across USA, Canada, Mexico), a dedicated wholesale dealer portal for retailers, and a design-professional outreach program targeting interior designers, architects, and hospitality specifiers, with co-branded collaborations (Fermoie, Kickie Chudikova, MSC Cruises) used to broaden design-led assortment. Revenue is generated through one-time unit sales at price points from approximately $40 for tumblers up to $1,800+ for large floor lamps, with no subscription or recurring revenue model in place; the company is privately held with no funding rounds or revenue disclosures on record.
