BEST BRANDS BEST DESIGN OF PORTUGAL We could define the offer of Portuguese furniture and interior design companies (with a with bit of a provocative twist, but just so it is universally clear) as a combination of the aesthetics of Italian level design with the high reliability of German manufacturing. But we actually offer more than that. A own way of creating, designing and producing, in which today’s global and urban trends melt with centuries of history and socio-cultural references. A combination of contemporary design with the craftsmanship passed on from one generation to the next, supported by state of the art technological processes of production. Today’s consumers make their decisions (like / don’t like, buy / don’t buy), based on what a product stands for, its design, the values of the brand and the emotions that they get from a piece or an environment. But also, they are more aware thanever before of the concept of value-for-money. Today’s challenges are new. But the values on which our success depends – hard work, loyalty, boldness, flexibility – are the same true values, which have been the driving force of consistency of the Portuguese companies and progress of Portugal as a whole, since the 14th century, when (using wood as a material), our forefathers set to sail across the unknown oceans and discovered the “new world”, setting the basis for the system of global trade as we know it. Come and get to know us! We are bringing to the May Design Series a showcase with lots of emotion and soul in it, with high product quality standards.
In Nature nothing dies, nothing is lost. Everything changes. We return to Nature the best She offers....
