The splendidly superb strokes of a painted masterpiece, the svelte details of a hand-hewn marble sculpture, and the perfect play of space and light by a master architect. Anything that rises above the common or mundane—these are the qualities that inspire passion within Robbie Antonio. Antonio—a man of pedigreed education and a connoisseur of good taste—is a seasoned global real estate magnate with millions of square feet of commercial and residential development as testament. Despite his meteoric rise all by the age of forty, Antonio felt that something was missing—that he had some desire of unknown origin incubating within him. It wasn’t until 2015, following a week of intense thought, that Antonio had a sudden flash of brilliance: an asset-light business model consisting of a symbiotic network of master fabricators, delivery methods, and installers. Revolution Precrafted would be the world’s first business of its kind—a catalyst for bringing luxurious creations of world-class architects and designers to the doorstep of everyman.
