Owner’s Michael and Laura Levenberg have always been inspired by the American West and celebrate 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“says Laura. “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 deriving from the classic American symbol.”
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 early 1990’s. It was founded by a botanist who was intent on restoring a native Buffalo range and developed a local 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 wedding parties, corporate gatherings, fly fishermen, river rafters, hunters, & cowboys. Guests were intrigued by & interested in having this impressive furniture in their own homes & ranches, hence Buffalo Collection was born.
In 2011, the Levenbergs relocated the heart of the business from Colorado to sunny Scottsdale and opened their remarkable flagship store. In 2016, they expanded their boutique 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 traditional Ranch Club style collection to the mid-century modern style Colorado collection & much 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 could work well together. Then, do we feel that the merit of their work is of the highest quality and 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. BuffaloCollection.com
