association of qualified, vetted artisans with proven expertise
in fine art conservation, cutting-edge design, and hand-
crafted artistry. Our concept is simple: we hold each other
to the highest standards. With that in mind, we created
a network of artisans who work both independently and
collaboratively to cater to demanding clients as we strive
to enhance, maintain, preserve, and protect their most
precious artworks, furniture, and interiors.
CDI members are selected for the superior quality of work
in their field, for an established reputation among clients and
peers, and for an ongoing commitment to excellence.
Being part of the CDI network ranks members among highly
qualified craftsmen in the field of conservation, restoration,
and design. Our members offer services that preserve the
heritage and integrity of art objects, ranging from priceless
paintings to historic murals to antique furniture. We also
cater to the contemporary demands of homeowners, interior
designers, and architects by incorporating modern-day
technologies as we create one-of-a-kind pieces of contemporary furniture, cabinetry, and home entertainment
centers. As a collective, we are prepared to take on
multifaceted projects under demanding or complicated circumstances, integrating the client’s personal preferences
while adhering to standards of appropriate execution.
Our clients include art collectors, galleries, museums,
interior designers, architects, furniture designers, antique
shops, insurance companies, auction houses, and
discerning homeowners. Meeting as well as exceeding our
clients’ expectations is our priority. We accomplish this
through ongoing interactive communication, and we deliver
services on time and within budget.

The Blackstone Memorial Library in Hyde Park houses one
of the jewels of Chicago’s artistic past; a small cupola of
beautiful gilt moldings and magnificent murals painted by the
celebrated artist, Oliver Dennett Grover. The cupola is
currently undergoing a much-anticipated restoration and
conservation project sponsored by the Preservation Division
of the Chicago Public Library System.
The City of Chicago awarded this contract to PARMA
Conservation, with a subcontract to Bernacki & Associates,
Inc. The collaboration between the two companies has
already proved to be a huge success. Conservators from
both groups are providing their unique expertise to achieve
the ultimate goal: restoring the original beauty of the artwork
through advanced cleaning techniques.
