Rarify: Authentic Furniture and Iconic Modern Design Collections
Rarify is a specialized design dealer and brand that bridges the gap between historical design research and the acquisition of authentic furniture and lighting. Founded in 2021 by architects David Rosenwasser and Jeremy Bilotti, who transitioned from research labs at MIT and Harvard GSD, Rarify operates with a mission to provide the best source for quality design and information. The company maintains an extensive inventory of over 15,000 authenticated pieces, spanning 20th-century icons and 21st-century innovations. Their collection includes renowned names such as Eames, Knoll, USM Haller, and Nakashima, catering to architects, interior designers, and private collectors. Rarify distinguishes itself through a data-driven curation process, utilizing historical sales data to identify long-term value and longevity in design objects. Beyond retail, Rarify acts as a design media company, producing educational content that has garnered over 25 million views. The organization is a member of Be Original Americas, reflecting a commitment to protecting intellectual property and promoting authenticity in a market often saturated with low-quality imitations. With services ranging from FF&E procurement for large-scale projects to specialized restoration and custom millwork, Rarify serves as a comprehensive resource for the design community, operating from headquarters in Philadelphia and a showroom in Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
