What ARMAZEM.design does

ARMAZEM.design is a privately-held lifestyle showroom and design consultancy that curates and distributes high-end Italian and Brazilian furniture, cabinetry, architectural products, and lighting through company-owned showrooms in major US design markets. Founded in 2017 by Jon Fante and headquartered in Chicago as Armazem LLC, the company operates showrooms in Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Houston, with a fifth location planned for West Palm Beach in Fall 2026. The business functions as a multi-brand authorized dealer and design intermediary rather than a manufacturer, positioning itself to bridge product design and interior architecture for trade professionals and affluent end-clients.

The core product offering spans three categories: cabinetry (Arclinea and Bontempo kitchens, Lema closet and wall systems), architectural products (Barausse and Lualdi doors, partitions, and wall paneling), and furnishings (Lema furniture, Foscarini lighting, Schuster, plus Gaggenau and Sub-Zero/Wolf/Cove appliances). The team is small (~8 named designers/architects) and multidisciplinary, with credentials spanning architecture, interior design, and product design. There is no proprietary technology platform; the underlying capability is human design expertise, manufacturer partnerships, and physical showroom experience.

ARMAZEM monetizes through project-based, quote-driven sales of curated products to architects, interior designers, developers, and high-end residential clients. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by physical showroom experiences, manufacturer cross-promotion, and a project showcase-driven website. Pricing is project-specific given the custom nature of cabinetry and architectural specifications, and is not publicly disclosed. The company has exhibited steady, showroom-by-showroom expansion since founding with no external funding rounds disclosed, indicating organic growth funded by operating cash flow.

• Roche Bobois: French luxury furniture retailer with a network of franchise and company-owned showrooms across the US. Comparable as a curated, designer-channel showroom concept selling premium European furniture to high-end residential and trade clients.
• B&B Italia: Italian luxury furniture manufacturer with company-owned and partner showrooms in major US design districts. Directly comparable as a high-end Italian design brand sold through curated showroom experiences targeting architects and designers.
• Molteni&C: Italian luxury furniture brand with flagship showrooms in US design centers (NYC, LA, Miami). Closely comparable as a premium Italian kitchen, closet, and furniture brand specified by architects and designers through showroom experiences.

Emerging players

Broad incumbents

• Design Within Reach: US modern design furniture retailer (now part of MillerKnoll) with showrooms selling curated premium and designer furniture. Comparable in serving the design-conscious consumer and trade specifier, but at broader and lower price points than ARMAZEM's ultra-luxury positioning.
• Room & Board: US contemporary home furnishings retailer with company-owned showrooms offering design services. Comparable as a showroom + design consultancy model for home furnishings, though at a more accessible price point and without ARMAZEM's Italian/Brazilian luxury brand curation.
• Restoration Hardware (RH): US-based luxury home furnishings retailer with galleries and an integrated design service. Comparable as a high-end home furnishings and design-services retailer, but at vastly greater scale and with proprietary products rather than curated third-party brands.
