Cullman & Kravis Associates
A short selection of Italian ateliers, chosen for the “modern traditional,” antiques-and-art register behind your layered New York interiors.

Three ateliers, chosen for you
Out of the 100+ Italian manufacturers in the 101domus network
Furniture · Veneto
Francesco Molon
Over 50 years producing furniture across classic, eclectic and contemporary lines — tables, cabinetry, seating and boiserie — with a long track record supplying international hotel chains.
Why: spans exactly the range from historic to modern that defines your “modern traditional” approach.
Tier: Luxury
Classic furniture · Giussano, Lombardy (Brianza)
Angelo Cappellini
Since 1886, a Lombardy furniture house producing Baroque, Louis XV, Louis XVI and Empire-style pieces for villas, palazzi and five-star hotels — sofas, cabinetry, tables and beds in fine woods and gilded finishes.
Why: the Baroque-to-Empire register sits naturally alongside the antiques you layer into every project.
Tier: Luxury
Lighting · Florence, Tuscany
Badari
A Florentine lighting atelier since 1956, hand-working brass, copper and iron into Art Déco and contemporary fixtures.
Why: hand-worked brass fixtures suited to the classical architecture of collaborators like Allan Greenberg and Oscar Shamamian.

The business case, for this exact selection
Sourcing Francesco Molon, Angelo Cappellini and Badari directly means three separate factory relationships for one project: three quotes, three production timelines to track, three shipments, three customs entries into New York, 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 New York, instead of three independent deliveries
DDP
landed cost (duties + delivery) known upfront, before production starts — no customs surprises
