SOLINFO

What SOLINFO does

SOLINFO Group is a privately-held, Budapest-based multi-brand design company founded in 1995, operating across Central-Eastern Europe through two pillars: a commercial arm (e-commerce via Solinfo Shop and four physical showrooms) and a services arm covering FF&E/OS&E procurement, lighting design, smart home and audiovisual integration, interior home styling, and design education. The company curates a portfolio of more than 500 international design brands and holds exclusive Hungarian distribution rights for Roche Bobois (French luxury furniture), Veneta Cucine (Italian kitchens), and Kerakoll Color Collection (surface solutions).

The company's service technology centers on the Lighting Embassy subsidiary, which delivers integrated smart-home and audiovisual systems powered by Crestron whole-house automation, Helvar lighting control, and proprietary control interfaces combining lighting, climate, AV, security, and access control via smartphone or tablet. Physical assets include the Home of Solinfo Scandinavian design store (400+ sqm), the Veneta Cucine Hungary flagship kitchen showroom (500 sqm), the Roche Bobois Hungary showroom, the Kerakoll Design House, and dedicated home styling and lighting studio spaces in Budapest.

SOLINFO generates revenue through transactional product sales (premium furniture and lighting priced from a few thousand to over 690,000 HUF per piece), professional service fees across procurement, lighting design, and home styling engagements, and exclusive distribution margins on premium international brands. Its customer base spans private residential clients, architects and interior designers, and enterprise clients across hospitality (St. Regis Budapest, Four Seasons, Marriott, W Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel), corporate offices (DLA Piper, ING, NN, Oracle, Sanofi, Biggeorge Property), retail (Nanushka), and food and beverage (Time Out Market, Foodora), supported by a hybrid GTM combining DTC retail, channel/exclusive distribution, and enterprise field sales.
