Joe Bottaro, on old world craftsman, learned the art of creating fine upholstered furniture in his native Italy. Eventually, he came to America and opened his upholstery shop on Worthington Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Through the 1930's -1940's he established his reputation as the finest upholsterer in the area. Using horsehair and tacks Joe built sofas of incomparable quality and comfort.

Si Skolnick was also in the furniture business in the 1940's. He established a fine design studio in New York City where he lived on the Upper East Side with his wife, Lilly, and baby daughter, Barbara. After a period of time, he decided to move back to Western massachusetts, Joe and Si formed a partnership, which became Bottaro-Skolnick Inc.
