A short selection of Italian ateliers, chosen for the material restraint behind your Brooklyn-based architecture, interiors and lighting work.
Workstead's own site lists an AD100 (Architectural Digest) recognition — cited on the studio's Press page and still shown as a recognition badge on the homepage — alongside a stated design process built on "precedent, modern form, and honest construction."

Three ateliers, chosen for you
Out of the 100+ Italian manufacturers in the 101domus network
Lighting · Prato, Tuscany
Officina Luce
Decorative lighting in metal and glass, contemporary with an industrial register — sconces, pendants and flush mounts built for a restrained, sculptural read.
Why: close to the same brief behind your own lighting studio — utility and tactility before decoration.
Fascia: Lusso
Natural stone · Salento, Puglia
Pimar
Natural limestone quarried and worked in Puglia for floors and cladding, already supplying hospitality and marine projects at scale.
Why: the same place-based, tactile material language behind your hospitality work.
Fascia: Lusso
Solid wood · Cantù, Lombardy
Durame
Artisanal solid-wood joinery — tables, seating, storage — built with an explicit sustainability focus.
Why: echoes the "honest construction" and craft-over-commodity approach you describe.
Fascia: Premium
The business case, for this exact selection
Sourcing Officina Luce, Pimar and Durame 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
