The story of Artefacto is one of passion, heritage, and innovation, carried forward by three generations of the Bacchi family. What began in Modena, Italy, with Albino Bacchi’s vision took root in São Paulo in 1976, where he introduced a collection of exquisitely crafted, sustainable furnishings that reflected timeless Italian artistry and Brazilian sophistication. His philosophy of marrying design with responsibility created the foundation for Artefacto’s enduring legacy.
The second chapter of Artefacto’s journey began in 2002, when Paulo Bacchi, Albino’s son, brought the brand to the United States. Under his leadership, Artefacto rapidly rose to prominence, becoming a top name in luxury home furnishings and staging services. Paulo’s expansion into U.S. markets introduced Artefacto’s signature blend of modern elegance and sustainability to a new clientele, solidifying the brand’s reputation as a leader in design innovation.
Today, the Bacchi legacy continues with the third generation: Bruno and Pietro Bacchi, Paulo’s twin sons. With a visionary approach, they now lead Artefacto’s flagship in Manhattan at 149 Madison Avenue, ushering in a bold new era for the company. Their focus is on curating spaces that embody luxury while emphasizing sustainability and forward-thinking design, ensuring Artefacto remains both relevant and inspiring to a global audience.
Together, Albino, Paulo, Bruno, and Pietro Bacchi represent more than a family business—they embody a design dynasty. Artefacto is not simply about furniture; it is about creating environments that tell stories, evoke emotions, and stand the test of time. With each generation building upon the last, the Bacchis continue to prove that true luxury lies in legacy, innovation, and the artistry of living beautifully.
