What Blest™ does

Blest™ is a privately held Ukrainian upholstered furniture manufacturer founded in 1999 in Cherkasy and currently headquartered in Kyiv. The company designs, produces, and distributes sofas, beds, armchairs, modular sectionals, and related furniture under four sub-brands: Blest Home (mainstream), Individual by Blest (premium handmade), Blest Kids (children), and Praktica Sofa (value-oriented). Manufacturing occurs in Cherkasy and Kyiv, with a 7-stage quality control process and access to 130+ fabric collections from global suppliers. All new models since July 2010 are developed jointly with Italian designer Concetta Lauriero (LAURIERO DESIGN, Milan), with Domenico Larato serving as chief designer, anchoring the brand's "Ukrainian furniture with Italian accent" positioning.

Blest operates an omnichannel go-to-market spanning 100+ branded retail stores across Ukraine and international markets (USA, Poland, Canada, Romania, Netherlands, Denmark, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, Estonia), a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform at blest.ua with delivery and assembly services, a dedicated B2B sales division serving hotels, offices, restaurants, beauty salons, and real estate developers, and a partnership channel targeting interior designers and architects. Pricing spans broad tiers: children's beds from 21,658 UAH to Individual premium sofas up to 184,284 UAH, with volume discounts and multi-year contracts for corporate clients and an 18-month standard warranty.

The company is independently owned and operated by Serhiy Oleksiyovych Savchenko (manager since 2008, founder was Pavlo Kovtun), with no disclosed institutional investors or external funding rounds. Headcount stands at 88 employees. Strategic priorities over the past five years have centered on geographic diversification (Warsaw 2023, Chicago 2025), brand portfolio segmentation, and operational continuity through the 2022 invasion (including a charitable commitment of 5% of sales to military support via the All4Ukraine fund). The company won the BEST MEBEL UA main award at KIFF 2020.
