Built From Inside the Trade
Allumette Home wasn't designed by a retailer who added a designer program. It was built by Amy Sutherland, a third-generation design and construction professional who spent decades inside the industry before opening a resource she wished had existed for her.
Three Generations, One Standard.
Amy's great-grandfather helped build bridges. Her father built homes. She built Allumette, a showroom that functions the same way load-bearing infrastructure does. Not decorative. Not optional. Essential. Her path ran through Carnegie Hall, an Aspen boutique, years in France, and a fluency in both the language and the philosophy that European design is built on. She speaks the trade because she grew up in it. Every vendor relationship in this building, every rep introduction, every product on the floor. All of it runs through that standard.
Why Now In Scottsdale
Arizona is a late design adapter. The market is oversized, under-resourced, and still catching up to what designers in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have had access to for decades. Allumette exists to close that gap. Not just for Scottsdale designers, but for any designer sourcing projects in the Southwest who needs a real trade partner.
What We Actually Believe
- A home should look collected, not decorated.
- There is often an inverse relationship between wallet and taste.
- Beauty matters. But so does putting your feet up.
- Good design shouldn't be reserved for people who flew in on a private jet.
