Fontaine

Ownership

Barry Avery launched his first design business from his basement before taking the leap into a dedicated retail and studio space he called Fontaine named after his maternal Grandmother. The business is independently owned and operated by a Madison-area resident who built it from the ground up.

Local Sourcing

The showroom showcases current trends with curated home furnishings from around the world. While Barry hand-curates items, the sourcing appears to be primarily international/national rather than local or regional suppliers.

Community Involvement

12 local business owners recommend Fontaine Home. The business has community reputation but no specific evidence of sponsorships, event hosting, or nonprofit partnerships was found in available sources.

Local Workforce

Reviews mention customers working with Barry, the owner, and Carrie, one of his designers on multiple home projects. Positive customer reviews and long-term designer relationships suggest good workforce conditions, though limited staff information is available.

Revenue Retention

As an independent, locally-owned interior design and furnishings business, revenue likely stays mostly local, but no specific financial data about revenue distribution is publicly available.

Local Presence
