Founded in 1995, CAI Designs was established as a source to integrate a strong passion for travel with interior design. Wandering the world’s corridors, the opportunity to find a one-of-a-kind piece has been important in telling this story. With a strong focus on imports, we found it necessary to widen the spectrum with domestically made home goods and furnishings. Every item in the showroom is hand-selected to start the creative process. To Inspire. To Create. To Enjoy.

“There is an ability the design trade has to see the subtle details in a piece. Whether it is furniture, lighting or an accessory, they know how it must be placed to make the room cohesive and beautiful.”
– Joe Caminiti, Owner

Adding to the evolution of product offerings within CAI Designs, the lighting category has been a strong focus to assist in finishing the details of a room. Our vast vendor list enables our designers to create project specific applications. From recessed lighting to chandeliers, our ALA certified lighting specialists have the ability to assist from concept to realization.
