Designs by Xavier is a premier fabrication studio based in New York City, specializing in custom furniture, upholstery, and window treatments exclusively for the trade. Dedicated to serving interior designers, we craft bespoke furniture solutions that bring design visions to life with precision and sophistication. Our name stands for trust, collaboration, and streamlined communication, ensuring every project is executed with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail.
With a strong portfolio in hospitality, commercial, and luxury residential interiors, our work has been featured in high-end restaurants, boutique hotels, and exclusive retail spaces worldwide. Our artisans collaborate closely with architects, designers, and developers to create custom pieces tailored to each project’s unique vision.
To meet the growing demand for one-of-a-kind, project-specific designs, we specialize in crafting furniture from sketches and architectural drawings. Every piece is built with a commitment to quality, timeless craftsmanship, and impeccable execution.
