Owner Laura Levenberg has always been inspired by the American West and celebrates its spirit within their collection.
“Growing up in the Midwest in an avid skiing family, I fell in love with the West on my first ski trip to Aspen,“ said Levenberg. “Loving the open-minded environment, wide open spaces, the colors & warmth of the West, our business exudes all of this. I am thrilled that our collection has its roots from the American iconic mammal.”
Like the eye-catching art and distinguished furniture they showcase, the Levenbergs are committed to honoring Buffalo Collections’ past while bringing it forward into the future.
Buffalo Collection originated on a Bison Ranch in Western Colorado in the late 1990s. It was founded by a botanist who was intent on restoring a native Buffalo range and developed a local Buffalo meat business in the process. As the business grew, guest lodges were established on the ranch, which were outfitted in outstanding Buffalo leather furniture. The ranch hosted a plethora of visitors including executives, wedding parties, fly fishermen, river rafters, hunters, & cowboys. Guests were intrigued & interested in having this impressive furniture in their own homes & ranches; hence the Buffalo Collection was born.
With a previous showroom in Aspen, the Levenbergs relocated the heart of the business from Colorado to sunny Scottsdale in 2011, opening their remarkable flagship store. In 2016, they enlarged the showroom to approximately 3600 feet.
Today, Laura & Michael keep the collection fresh by traveling across the West each summer to meet with prospective artists and to hand-select extraordinary pieces for the upcoming season. They have expanded their Buffalo leather furniture line to include a variety of design aesthetics, offering everything from the more traditional Ranch Club style collection to the mid-century modern style Colorado collection and more.
Owner Michael Levenberg talks about the process of choosing a new artist for their showroom.
“First, do we like them personally as an individual & feel we will work well together and also do we feel that the merit of their work is of the highest quality, then finally that their work would be a good fit for the gallery?”
Whether they’re introducing new generations to traditional Western artists, like Robert Rivera and Dan Deuter, or creating sleek modern furniture with classic materials and handcrafted details, the Levenbergs strive to create a collection that bridges the timeline from an older, simpler way of life to today’s contemporary, more sophisticated lifestyles. Their incredible gallery in Old Town Scottsdale provides the perfect space for the two worlds to meet.
