Artefacto is a Brazilian luxury furniture and interior design brand with a major U.S. presence in Coral Gables, Florida. Founded in São Paulo in 1976 by Albino Bacchi, the family-owned company expanded to the United States in 2002 and developed a distinctive position at the intersection of Brazilian furniture manufacturing, contemporary design, luxury interiors, home staging and high-end residential environments.
In 2026, Artefacto celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of design and manufacturing developed across three generations of the Bacchi family. Its international trajectory connects a substantial manufacturing operation in São Paulo state with showrooms and residential projects in some of the most influential luxury real estate and design markets in the United States.
The Coral Gables showroom places this Brazilian design company directly within the Miami and South Florida ecosystem — a market where architecture, luxury real estate, interior design, international investment and residential development intersect.

Artefacto entered the United States in 2002, with second-generation family member Paulo Bacchi leading the company’s expansion into the American market.
Today, its U.S. physical presence extends across South Florida and New York, with locations in Coral Gables, Aventura, Doral, Boca Raton and Manhattan.
The Coral Gables showroom is located at:
101 South Dixie Highway
Coral Gables, FL 33146
United States
This operation represents considerably more than a distribution point for Brazilian furniture.
Artefacto’s U.S. business encompasses luxury furniture, interior environments, home staging and residential projects, supported by U.S.-based inventory and relationships with interior designers, real estate professionals and the luxury residential market.
That structure makes Artefacto an important example of a Brazilian design company establishing a genuine operating presence inside the American luxury market.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Artefacto’s international identity remains structurally connected to Brazil.
Its history began in São Paulo in 1976, when Albino Bacchi established the business with a collection incorporating sustainable materials and an approach to furniture that combined design, materiality and craftsmanship.
Production remains anchored in Brazil through Artefacto’s manufacturing facility in Iperó, São Paulo.
The company reports an exclusive 1,076,000-square-foot manufacturing facility dedicated to developing and producing its furniture and maintaining its manufacturing standards.
Within this operation, furniture production incorporates multiple stages ranging from frame construction through upholstery and finishing, combining skilled craftsmanship with advanced manufacturing technology.
This creates a particularly relevant international business architecture:
Brazilian design heritage → manufacturing in São Paulo → U.S. showrooms → luxury residential market.
Rather than separating its international identity from its Brazilian origins, Artefacto’s structure makes Brazilian manufacturing part of the value chain supporting its presence abroad.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Artefacto develops furniture for both indoor and outdoor environments, with collections extending across a broad range of residential categories.
Its portfolio includes:
The company’s manufacturing philosophy combines contemporary production capabilities with traditional craftsmanship and custom furniture development.
Its collections also create a platform for collaboration with designers. The 2026 Cosmos Collection, for example, is designed by Patricia Anastassiadis, who is identified by Artefacto as the brand’s creative director.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
One of the characteristics that differentiates Artefacto from a conventional luxury furniture retailer is its integration with home staging and high-end residential real estate.
The company’s U.S. operation maintains inventory intended to support rapid delivery and installation, while its staging specialists develop complete residential environments incorporating furniture, accessories and art.
Artefacto states that custom private residences can be furnished in as little as 48 hours, supported by its U.S. inventory and full-service staging structure.
This model positions furniture not simply as an individual consumer product, but as part of the presentation, positioning and commercialization of luxury residential properties.
The company’s portfolio references interiors within projects associated with architectural names including Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster and Richard Meier, as well as properties and hospitality environments such as Four Seasons, Fisher Island and Casa Cipriani.
For South Florida — where international buyers, developers, brokers, architects and interior designers participate in an interconnected luxury-property ecosystem — this capability represents an important dimension of Artefacto’s American presence.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Artefacto’s positioning has progressively expanded beyond furniture manufacturing and showroom retail.
The company’s current institutional architecture includes Branded Residences, alongside its furniture collections, home staging services and residential projects.
This evolution reflects a broader transformation occurring within premium design businesses: the brand becomes involved not only in individual objects but in complete environments and residential experiences.
For Artefacto, this creates continuity between its Brazilian manufacturing capabilities and its participation in the American architecture, interior design and luxury real estate sectors.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Artefacto’s development is also characterized by continuity across three generations.
Albino Bacchi established the company’s legacy in São Paulo in 1976.
His son Paulo Bacchi, currently identified by Artefacto as CEO and second generation, spearheaded the company’s entry into the United States in 2002.
The third generation is represented by twins Pietro and Bruno Bacchi, who participate in the company’s U.S. development and lead its Manhattan flagship, with responsibilities spanning sales, marketing, manufacturing and logistics.
This multigenerational structure has allowed the company to combine continuity of ownership with geographic and strategic expansion.
In 2026, the company’s 50th anniversary therefore represents more than longevity: it connects five decades of Brazilian design and manufacturing with three generations of international business development.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Artefacto’s Brazilian manufacturing operation combines industrial scale with handcrafted production processes.
According to the company, its Iperó facility uses raw materials certified by organizations including IBAMA, Brazil’s federal environmental authority, while production integrates skilled manual work with manufacturing technology.
This combination is significant to the brand’s positioning.
Instead of treating craftsmanship and industrial production as opposing models, Artefacto integrates both within a manufacturing structure capable of serving its domestic and international design operations.
