What arbr studios does

ARBR Studios is a privately held custom millwork and luxury furniture manufacturer headquartered at 1677 Lyell Ave Suite A, Rochester, NY. The company produces bespoke built-in millwork (kitchens, closets, libraries, wine rooms, vanities, bars, architectural woodwork) and standalone luxury furniture (beds, tables, credenzas, benches, media cabinets, vanities) for affluent residential property owners, architects, and interior designers across Upstate New York and Manhattan. Production occurs primarily at the company's Rochester, NY facility, with professional on-site installation handled by ARBR's team under principal inspection by Partner Jason Cudzilo.

The underlying business is craftsmanship-intensive bespoke production rather than technology-platform based. Core technical capability rests on skilled Upstate New York woodworkers, an in-house Rochester production facility, and end-to-end project execution from design consultation through installation. The company also holds an exclusive manufacturing partnership with Icon Design, producing branded luxury furniture collections (Heritage Series, Cloud Chairs, Occasional Tables, Sizzles, Alchemist) for distribution through Icon Design's channels.

Revenue is generated through project-based one-time contracts (custom millwork and custom furniture) priced by quote according to specifications, materials, and complexity, plus a B2B manufacturing services revenue stream from the Icon Design partnership. Customers are acquired primarily through portfolio-driven website traffic, direct project inquiry forms, and referral relationships with architects and interior designers. Geographic reach is concentrated in the Finger Lakes region and Manhattan, with select commercial work in hospitality, retail, and corporate office segments.
