Artefacto, the renowned luxury furnishing and staging brand from Brazil, has officially opened its highly anticipated Manhattan flagship showroom. Following success in Brazil and Miami, Artefacto now makes its mark on Madison Avenue during New York Fashion Week, underscoring its role as a major player in the world of high-end design.

The new flagship showroom, located at the prestigious address of 149 Madison Avenue at 32nd Street, is a 15,000-square-foot, two-story space that offers a full sensory experience of Artefacto’s unique blend of Brazilian craftsmanship and Italian design influence. The showroom showcases a curated selection of luxury furnishings, highlighting pieces by acclaimed architect and interior designer Patricia Anastassiadis. Her newest collection, Vèr, made its exclusive U.S. debut in this showroom, featuring contemporary designs inspired by nature’s organic forms.

The space is adorned with striking pieces from renowned Brazilian artists, including Carlos Araujo, Roberto Cimino, and Jorge Mayet, blending design with fine art to offer a one-of-a-kind showroom experience.

Artefacto has long been a leader in the luxury staging and furnishings market. From Miami to São Paulo, and now New York City, the company’s designs can be found in some of the world’s most prestigious developments and hospitality venues, including Zaha Hadid and Norman Foster-designed towers, Casa Cipriani, The Four Seasons, and Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc. Known for its impeccable service, Artefacto offers a remarkable two-week turnaround to fully furnish luxury homes, a service that has revolutionized the staging market.

CEO Paulo Bacchi expressed his pride in this next chapter for Artefacto. “New York begins an incredible new chapter for Artefacto, where my sons will elevate industry standards,” Bacchi said. “Excellence, innovation, and longevity are who we are as a brand and a family business.”

Leading the charge into the future, Pietro and Bruno Bacchi, Paulo’s twin sons, are ensuring Artefacto’s vision continues to evolve. They are focused on creating innovative spaces that blend their family’s heritage with contemporary living, perfectly capturing the sleek, modern feel of New York while paying homage to Artefacto’s Brazilian roots.

Artefacto’s NYC flagship is expected to become a central hub for designers, real estate developers, and luxury homeowners seeking high-end furnishings and bespoke staging services. The company’s presence on Madison Avenue aligns it with the world’s top design houses, positioning Artefacto to cater to Manhattan’s most discerning clientele.

The opening has sparked buzz among industry insiders, particularly with Artefacto’s ability to offer fully customized pieces in any fabric or finish. The brand’s commitment to high-end, sustainable luxury, combined with its strong family roots, is what continues to set Artefacto apart.
