Upholstery players team up to tackle US

24/03/2009

Italian leather upholstery producers Nicoletti and Caliaitalia have formed a joint venture to sell their products in the US market under the name of Italian Homes.

The new joint venture will make an immediate appearance at a series of upcoming interior design exhibitions there. The company has leased warehouse space near Charlotte, North Carolina.

One line of sofas, Calia, will feature products retailing from $599 to more than $2,000, while the more contemporary Nicoletti line will have sofas at price points of $999 to $3,999.

“This new venture will allow Italian Homes to be a one-stop resource for leather," said Eustachio Nicoletti, president of Nicoletti. "This is a big advantage for our customers.”
