Our Story

The Story of Interium Cabinets: From Silence to Style

My brother and I started Interium Cabinets in 1998 in a small workshop outside Vienna. We were trained woodworkers who wanted to build custom cabinetry the way we'd learned - carefully, with attention to joinery and finish quality.

For over a decade, we built a steady business across Austria, Germany, and northern Italy. By 2008, we had a small team and were handling around 1,200 custom orders annually. Most of our clients came through referrals, and wait times could stretch to several months.

The early workshop in 1998

In 2023, we decided to relocate to Los Angeles. It wasn't an easy transition. We sold our equipment and started over with limited capital—around $48,000. The first six months were rough: few clients, high overhead, and the challenge of breaking into a new market where we had no reputation.

Our breakthrough came through word of mouth. A local interior designer commissioned a walnut wardrobe in late 2024, liked the work, and referred us to others. Over the next six months, referrals multiplied. By mid-2025, we'd completed over 120 projects in the LA area.

Starting fresh in Los Angeles

Today, Interium operates out of a combined showroom and workshop in Los Angeles. We specialize in custom kitchen cabinetry, built-ins, and wardrobes using quality plywood and MDF. Each piece is still built in-house by our small team.

Our approach is straightforward: we meet with clients to understand the space and needs, create detailed plans, and build everything on-site in LA. No mass production, no catalog templates.

If you're looking for custom cabinetry and want to see our work in person, our showroom is open by appointment.
