average consumers, they\u2019re well known in the furniture design and architecture communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Bilotti and Rosenwasser act as authorized dealers for contemporary global furniture brands, Rarify also offers collectable vintage pieces acquired through private sales, including the work of design icons like Frank Gehry, Le Corbusier, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Items range from rare, pricey pieces\u2014such as a 1971 lounge chair by renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer ($25,000)\u2014to more accessible ones, like modular storage units ($170) or portable rechargeable table lamps ($150).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since many high-end manufacturers maintain constantly circulating showrooms across the U.S., Rarify utilizes its ample storage space to absorb pieces that have been retired from display, and sells them online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div

them,\u201d says Bilotti. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long process of gaining trust, expressing our appreciation for the products, and working with the manufacturers to curate a selection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For both co-CEOs, a passion for design goes back to childhood. Bilotti, who grew up in New Jersey, came to architecture as a way to blend his lifelong affinity for art and drawing with a technical career. <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A furniture showroom with various chairs on display in an array of colors\" class=\"wp-image-23486 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-1264x1264.jpg 1264w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-632x632.jpg 632w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-316x316.jpg 316w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/alumni.cornell.edu\/cornellians\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Showroom-Image-Cropped-A.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Rarify showroom, open to visitors by appointment.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Pennsylvania native Rosenwasser\u2014whom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/lmowery\/2022\/12\/15\/buying-an-eames-chair-on-ebay-i-met-the-wunderkind-of-vintage-furniture-restoration-now-im-obsessed-with-his-company-rarify-heres-the-amazing-story-of-a-teen-collector-turned-millennial-design-authority\/?sh=4a5ea387363a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Forbes <\/em>has called<\/a> \u201cthe wunderkind of vintage furniture restoration\u201d\u2014traces his fascination to a single piece: a lounge chair by famed designers Charles and Ray Eames that his mother gifted his father when he was a tween. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He became \u201cobsessed\u201d with learning about important furniture designers of the 20th century\u2014and realized that many of them were also architects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even before matriculating on the Hill, Rosenwasser had opened his own vintage furniture business, storing his collection in a friend\u2019s vacant office space.
