JAMES by Jimmy DeLaurentis Private Label Furniture

One of DeLaurentis’ most impressive accomplishments to date is his ever-expanding JAMES by Jimmy DeLaurentis private label furniture collection. The products he has created for the brand are a natural extension of the custom furniture he has created over the years for clients’ homes.

As part of the range, you can find cozy sofas, stylish loveseats, velvet ottomans, accent chairs, headboards, and more – with product names inspired by Italian movie stars of the 1940s.

The designer’s latest collection is the “Amfali” line, which is a celebration of DeLaurentis’ global travels and the stunning beauty of the Amfali Coast.

“Seeing my vision come to life means the world to me,” he said about the launch in a statement. “Amalfi was inspired by the vibrancy of the coast of Italy. I’m honored to see my new pieces loved by so many and am thrilled by the success of the launch.”

If you’re a pet owner with particularly refined taste, you know that a beige foam disc from a big box retailer just won’t cut it for your your cats and dogs – which is where the JAMES collection comes in!

DeLaurentis uses faux velvets and wipeable fabrics that still feel just as luxurious as the full-size sofas.

His “models” for the line are his own pups, Danny and Giselle, who love to be spoiled rotten and served as the inspiration behind the whole collection.

“We always have to keep our pets in mind!” DeLaurentis told us. “Why not do the same [furniture designs for pets] so it fits in with any lifestyle?”

JAMES Luxury Candle Collection

In addition to his extensive line of home furnishings, DeLaurentis’ popular JAMES label also carries a collection of luxury candles that help set the atmosphere of a space.

The three debut scents include L’Aquilla (named to honor DeLaurentis’ mother’s Italian hometown), Abruzzo, and Harvest.
