OUR STORY

STOWED was founded by former Wall Street lawyer Elissia Sigalow, who saw a gap in the market for timeless, high-quality furniture. what began as a direct-to-consumer retail brand has evolved into a vertically integrated firm serving the commercial sector at scale. today, STOWED unites interior design, custom manufacturing, procurement, FP&A, project management, and logistics—delivering complete FF&E solutions that pair design excellence with operational precision, driving efficiency, quality, and value across every project.

The Vision Begins

our story began in retail—designing and producing timeless, high-quality furniture built to last.

as we grew, we recognized a broader opportunity: an industry defined by inefficiency, fragmented teams, and lost design intent. STOWED was founded to change that—bringing clarity, beauty, and financial intelligence to the commercial design process by uniting creativity, production, and management under one roof

Building the Model

we began developing a vertically integrated approach combining furniture design, manufacturing, and logistics to streamline retail production..

by establishing our north carolina upholstery factory and cultivating a team and trusted partnerships in asia, we built a loyal following among discerning clients who valued our design sensibility, attention to detail, and uncompromising quality. that foundation of trust and precision continues to define how we create and deliver today.

Scaling for Commercial Impact

building on our vertically integrated foundation, we evolved from crafting our own collections to bringing that same artistry and precision to large-scale commercial projects.

as partnerships deepened, we began producing for our commercial clients directly—supporting their projects with our full suite of capabilities. today, STOWED brings the warmth of craft and the discipline of production to hospitality, residential, and mixed-use environments, redefining how design and delivery work together.

Proven Results, Integrated Future

TODAY, we stands as a partner trusted by developers, designers, and brands nationwide. STOWED's vertically integrated model has saved clients millions — delivering measurable results — all while elevating design outcomes.

looking ahead, we continue to expand our reach while refining our process—leveraging technology, data, and global manufacturing to push design forward. The result is a new standard for the industry: seamless integration, elevated outcomes, and spaces that stand the test of time.

OUR TEAM

we’ve built a team with extensive experience — our commercial backgrounds are amplified by diverse professional skill sets in design, procurement, project management, law, and supply chain management. with our multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving coupled with our extensive product and manufacturing experience, we provide our clients with unrivaled resources and intellectual capital.
