Based in New Jersey with offices in Chicago, Authentic Design Collection is the brainchild of lighting veteran Blair Hutkin, who utilizes his expertise, industry knowledge, and relationships with premium European lighting manufacturers to make a curated selection of lighting and furniture accessible to designers and specifiers in North America.

Among the brands exclusively distributed by Authentic Design Collection are DCWéditions Paris, Carpyen of Barcelona, and Italian brands Contardi and Martinelli Luce.

Now the Italian manufacturer TOOY has joined the roster of brands. Founded by Valeria Giacomozzi and Valerio Tidei, each lighting collection features different materials and finishes in a way that balances traditional art forms with continuous experimentation. Made in Italy with quality materials by master craftsmen, TOOY lamps are decorative elements capable of providing a wide and versatile range of products that tell a story.

Authentic Design Collection will be the exclusive TOOY distributor in the USA and will offer TOOY’s collections for retail and contract sectors. Orders will ship from the New Jersey warehouse.
