“This may sound trite but it is my clients’ lifestyles that truly inspire me. I believe everyone’s home should be as unique as they are, so first we have a deep conversation about what they like to do and how they like to live, and then I use that as my muse when I am looking for the perfect items for their rooms.”

Featured Products:

  • Chair and Sofa – Thayer Coggin
  • End Table – Palacek
  • Suspender Ceiling Light – Sonneman Lighting

Liz’s Favorite Thing

Spending more time at home has a way of making us zone in to the little things that can be updated about our favorite rooms. From that entertainment cabinet that has outlived its usefulness, to the sectional that seemed much larger before the addition of two energetic little ones, the list can add up quickly. At C.A.I. Designs, we have many solutions that will excite your clients after an extended stay at home.

The Alternatives sectional by Burton James is one great example. I love how this grouping includes so many components. In addition, the versatile program has several style options to create the perfect piece for any aesthetic. Our display sectional includes the XL bumper and Pod; a comfy corner to cuddle up with book or favorite pup!

To customize the Burton James Alternatives sectional or to make an appointment at our Denver showroom, contact Liz at 303.282.8100 ext. 6970 or by email lizm@caidesigns.net.

Anthony’s Favorite Thing

At C.A.I. Designs we understand that sometimes finding the perfect furniture for your client can be a challenge. For that reason, being able to customize a piece creates the ideal situation for both you and your customer. Fremarc Designs makes customization not only possible, but also effortless.

Renowned for its timeless look, Fremarc Designs allows you to personalize many of its furniture pieces. One of my current showroom favorites is the gorgeous Montage Draw-Top Dining table. (shown right). The Montage is not only available in a variety of custom base and top finishes, it can also be ordered in a custom size. This option makes it easy to accommodate almost any space.

To customize the Montage dining table or to make an appointment at our Arlington Heights showroom, contact Anthony at 847.398.4785 ext. 6761 or by email anthonyd@caidesigns.net.

Rea’s Favorite Thing

As January 2020 quickly becomes a memory, we are once again reflecting on our favorite pieces. This month, Chicago Sales Associate, Rea Nicolaou shares her new favorite dining table.

Just this week we received the Pont Dining Table by Philipp Selva – a must- see for all!  This stunning Ash table designed by Aldo Cibic  is a true statement piece for any dining room. The architectural arched base supports a beautifully geometric and thin sloped tabletop.  

Available in 3 Finishes (Ash Dark, Ash Tobacco, and Ash White) the Pont table has a lightness and strength that is perfect for any Contemporary/Modern home. 

To get a closer look at the Pont table or to make an appointment, Rea can be reached at 312.755.9163 ext. 7004 or by email rean@caidesigns.net.
