CUBIÑÁ

What CUBIÑÁ does

CUBIÑÁ (legal entity CUBIÑA 2016, SL) is a Barcelona-based designer furniture retailer, distributor, and interior design services firm operating as a fourth-generation family business with roots traceable to the late 19th century. The company curates and commercializes a catalog of more than 40,000 product references from over 250 international designer brands — including HAY, Molteni, Cassina, Pedrali, Artemide, Foscarini, Moroso, and Muuto — through its 1,800+ m2 flagship showroom housed in Casa Thomas, a modernist building designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner in 1895 on Barcelona's Golden Mile. It also holds exclusive distribution rights for select brands (notably Euromobil kitchens) and operates the proprietary Alma Light decorative lighting brand founded in 1989 by previous-generation family members.

The business serves two parallel customer segments: private residential clients (B2C) seeking designer furniture, lighting, kitchens, and outdoor pieces with personalized advisory and financing; and contract / professional clients (B2B) including interior designers, architects, developers, and restorers who require comprehensive FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) services covering product supply, custom manufacturing via an in-house workshop, storage, assembly, and logistics across Spain, the EU, USA, Chile, Argentina, and other LATAM markets, with a dedicated France delegation. Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional (hardware sales of distributed brands plus project-based professional services for contract work), supplemented by a furniture rental/leasing service for private customers and project management fees for large FF&E engagements. The GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, anchored by the experiential Casa Thomas showroom, supported by trade-show participation (Salón Piscina, Interihotel, Face to Face Real Estate, 48h Open House Barcelona), co-hosted brand events, and a multi-channel presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and an email newsletter.

The company is privately held by the Cubiñá family under CEO Edgar Cubiñá (fourth generation), with no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds. There is no proprietary technology platform underpinning the business; competitive differentiation rests on heritage brand equity, the curated multi-brand assortment, exclusive brand rights, in-house custom manufacturing, and integrated contract logistics rather than on software or AI capabilities.

Revenue model

1. Furniture and Lighting Product Sales: Cubiñá generates revenue primarily through the sale of designer furniture, decorative lighting, and accessories from over 250 international brands. Products are sold through their Barcelona showroom and catalog to both private individuals (B2C) and professional clients (B2B). Revenue is generated on a per-transaction basis, with no recurring subscription component.
2. Custom Furniture Manufacturing: Cubiñá operates its own workshop to manufacture bespoke, made-to-measure furniture for both residential and contract clients. This service allows customers to commission pieces that are not available in the catalog, providing an additional revenue stream with higher margins than standard product sales.
3. Contract Project Services: Cubiñá provides comprehensive FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) services for contract projects, including integral project management, own storage, assembly, and logistics (nationally, EU, USA, Chile, Argentina, and LATAM). They act as a single partner from concept to completion, combining product sales with service fees.
4. Furniture Rental / Leasing: Cubiñá offers a furniture rental service for private customers, allowing them to lease pieces of furniture rather than purchase outright.
