R
Provoke, Stimulate and Seduce. These are the attributes we believe that should be a part of a piece of furniture. The way to get them? Through our ability to defy, to take risks and above all, to create. It`s important to understand that the latest technology only resists if It`s blended with tradition. Furthermore, we acknowledge that the worthiest of gestures is worthless if not crafted by the most competent artisans. This way from the noblest of materials and precise detail, excellence and uniqueness will arise and from the passion we put in what we do, a perfect piece will one day surface. www.bateye.com info@bateye.com +351 227 312 657 Rua dos Terรงos, N.ยบ 99 4410-236 V.N.
