Three ateliers, chosen for you
Out of the 100+ Italian manufacturers in the 101domus network
Leather upholstery · Lombardy (Brianza)
Casa Covre
A Lombardy atelier producing furniture entirely upholstered in leather and hide, finished with hand-sewn saddlery stitching — sofas, armchairs, beds and leather wall panels.
Why: a literal match for the “sartorial” register Matt Donahoe uses to describe the studio's own work.
Tier: Luxury
Contemporary furniture · Lombardy
Vibieffe
Complete contemporary living systems designed explicitly around a “Quiet Luxury” register, with a bespoke division for hospitality, marine and residential work.
Why: shares the same “Quiet Luxury” language the studio uses for its own neutral, texture-forward interiors.
Tier: Premium
Solid wood joinery · Cantù, Lombardy
Durame
Artisanal solid-wood joinery — tables, seating, storage — built with an explicit sustainability focus.
Why: the organic, tactile materials and quality-over-speed ethos echo bureau's own “slow decoration” philosophy.
Tier: Premium
The business case, for this exact selection
Sourcing Casa Covre, Vibieffe and Durame directly means three separate factory relationships for one project: three quotes, three production timelines to track, three shipments, three customs entries into Nashville, three invoices in EUR to reconcile. 101domus consolidates all of it into one coordinated project.
3 → 1
ateliers coordinated through a single point of contact instead of three separate vendor relationships
1
consolidated shipment and customs entry to Nashville, instead of three independent deliveries
DDP
landed cost (duties + delivery) known upfront, before production starts — no customs surprises
