FAVI'S Journey
FAVI's journey began in 2015 with a simple yet revolutionary idea - to make online furniture shopping an inspiring, convenient, and accessible experience for all. Starting with just two people - the founders Jan Sellers-Zajic and Radomír Hejl, we launched an innovative online furniture search engine. After several months of rapid development and fine-tuning, we found our sweet spot. FAVI's popularity soared, our website traffic increased, and we quickly amassed a satisfied user base.
Over the years, we have expanded FAVI's reach to eleven additional countries. Today, FAVI's websites receive hundreds of thousands of daily visits.
Our team has also experienced rapid growth. Currently, a diverse team of more than 70 professionals from around the world.
In 2025 Marie Hejlová has become a new CEO of FAVI. She joined FAVI in 2016 and between years 2017 - 2025 she was in the CMO role.
What Maruška says about FAVI and how she sees FAVI's Future
"Choosing furniture is an emotional process. We all want to feel home cosy, welcomed and keep the environment as unique as our personalities. This is the core belief that will guide our strategy.
The main focus in FAVI from now on will be product development. I loved our big budgets as a CMO, but from now on let’s focus on keeping users happy so they stick to FAVI and come back (user retention). AI is not a buzzword for me – I want to use it as much as possible and focus on smart ways of implementing it into our business. All FAVI’s revenue comes from clicks, but that doesn’t have to stay this way forever. FAVI is the top medium in home & garden in many countries and I want to take advantage of this and turn it into a business.
I'm looking forward to pushing limits and learning new things with my great team to fulfil our motto – when I search for furniture, I go to FAVI."
