Our Story

After a decade of successfully opening high-end showrooms in Chicago, New York, and Miami, Jon Fante felt inspired to bring back a lifestyle feel to the business. Along with long-time collaborators, Marcel Menegolla, Flavia Piedra and Paula Baleeiro, the concept was further expanded to bridge product design and interior architecture, building upon the team’s expertise in both disciplines.

This concept, created in 2017, was christened the name Armazem as a nod to Fante’s Brazilian upbringing and the culture of small local shops throughout Brazil known as “armazems”-places that initially evolved from general stores to high-end boutiques with products and services tailor-made to customers.

Our Purpose

We bridge product design and interior architecture

The core of Armazem’s work is to apply a wide range of knowledge to create custom solutions for projects of any size and scope. We combine our expertise with the know-how of our manufacturers to provide comprehensive solutions to our clients and trade partners.

Our Culture

Ever-evolving

We believe that the interior design community needs a dynamic showroom. Independent in the curation of the best products from the best manufacturers. Thoughtful in the search of innovative ideas and technologies. And ever-evolving in our design practices.

Our Vision

The avant-garde showroom

We strive to unite creative elegance and technical discipline–often two opposing qualities. Our vision is to be a team formed by professionals with degrees in architecture, interior design, civil engineering, and product design, working together for the advancement of home living.
