About
Enrico Bartolini’s Story
Enrico Bartolini’s start in the furniture industry is firmly rooted at home– an idea that he conceived with a friend took shape because of his family. Bartolini was 25 years old and working as a carpenter when a friend asked for help building a table for a client of his boss.
Without much experience, but a tremendous amount of determination, he cleaned out his parents’ two-car garage and set up a small wood shop and finishing room. After taking over the back side of the garage and his grandmother’s garden, he asked his mother, a skilled seamstress, to set up a table and cutting room in their small basement. She agreed and guided him through the process of making cushions for his furniture.
Bartolini went from a sole proprietor, churning out original designs in his parents’ home to employing over 30 people and establishing his own factory in less than two years.At one point he had over 140 employees, all building furniture for his company.
After a quick Google search in 2014, Bartolini noticed that one of his earlier chaise designs was sold by an antique dealer. He decided to get his work back into the public view. Bartolini’s pieces have evolved over the years, from the more mainstream, mass-produced furniture, to the present high-end, one-of-a-kind designs savvy customers appreciate for their quality and unique design.
