Member Spotlight - Enrico Bartolini
Enrico Bartolini began his furniture making journey in the 1970’s, at the age of 25. His first workshop was located in his parents' two-car garage. Within three short years, Enrico had 80 employees and was mass producing his furniture.
Bartolini’s business continued to grow. He remained in the area, manufacturing furniture out of a factory in West Wyoming, with 140 employees. But in 1990, Bartolini changed careers. He stopped producing furniture and became a consultant.
A few years ago Enrico saw his name on a website; someone in New York state was selling a chaise lounge he had created. This is when he decided to return to making furniture. Not mass-produced furniture, but one-of-a-kind pieces. Bartolini uses all types of wood such as maple, oak, walnut, and magnolia. He enjoys working with unique woods, polished metals, and dyed finishes.
Enrico’s son, Enrico Bartolini II, works with his father on the marketing side of the business. He enjoys being around people and selling to the customers. The younger Bartolini began to show his skill in the wood shop at the young age of 7 or 8.
Enrico’s showroom just celebrated its first anniversary on 06/06/2022. They are located at 900 Rutter Avenue, Forty Fort.
