Bontempo | Ribeirão Preto

What Bontempo | Ribeirão Preto does

Bontempo is a privately held, family-owned Brazilian custom furniture manufacturer founded in 1978 in São Marcos, Rio Grande do Sul, with roots tracing to the Stedile family's 1876 Italian immigration. The company operates a 40,000+ m² manufacturing facility that integrates flexible machinery with artisan processes to deliver millimeter-level precision in height, width, and depth, and supports the Avanti line of fully customizable furniture and the Molti Colori unlimited-color palette across Lacca, Laccato, Spazzolato, Legno, Laminato, and Metallo finishes.

The product portfolio spans built-in and loose furniture for residential (kitchens, closets, bathrooms, living spaces, home offices), the Bontempo Office corporate line (FOR, NEX, YOU), the Assinados designer-collaboration program with 500+ architects and designers, and the Bontempo Connect home automation line — the first in the Brazilian furniture market to integrate voice control via Google Assistant and Alexa, including the Lightfinder shelf-lighting system and a companion mobile app for kitchen organization and recipe suggestions.

Bontempo monetizes through quote-based, one-off project sales executed via a franchise network of 45+ branded showrooms across Brazil, the United States, Uruguay, and Chile, where customers co-design with architects and designers and the factory handles production through installation. Customer segments are Class A residential homeowners and corporate office buyers, supported by designer-led demand generation. The company remains under Stedile family control with no disclosed external investors.
