Paulo Bacchi, the owner of luxury furniture and staging company Artefacto, sold a Fisher Island condo for $6.8 million.

Records show TwinsHoldings LLC, tied to Bacchi, sold the Bayview unit at 4913 Fisher Island Drive to Junaste LLC, linked to Nestor J. Plana, founder, chairman and CEO of Independent Living Systems LLC.

The condo was listed for $12 million in 2015, according to Realtor.com. Elena Bluntzer with One Sotheby’s International Realty brokered both sides of the deal.

Bacchi and his wife, Lais, bought the 5,114-square-foot condo for $3.9 million in 2013, and remodeled the interior and exterior in 2014, according to records. The unit, built in 1990, has five bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms. The house was also offered fully furnished – with Artefacto furniture, of course.
