05 Ferreira de Sá

FERREIRA DE SÁ Since 1946

Located in Espinho, in the north of Portugal, Ferreira de Sá was founded in 1946 by Joaquim Ferreira de Sá, and it is currently one of the oldest existing companies producing traditional hand-made rugs.

It started off as a small manufacturer but quickly evolved to a large-scaled organization. An industrial unit was created, with modern equipment and facilities, without neglecting the origins and tradition of the art of weaving. Since all the carpets are custom made, every project is unique and personalized, bearing in mind the clients’ personalities and tastes. At Ferreira de Sá, there are no boundaries for creativity or innovation. Your imagination is the limit…

STORY OF A HAND-WOVEN

RUG

Weaving has been part of human history since the beginning of times. Nowadays, in Ferreira de Sá, the same traditional wooden looms from 1946 are used, creating unique master pieces, woven by hand. However, it also has the modern looms to manufacture the updated requests of the demanding and luxurious market.

Using nothing but the finest natural materials, the rugs ensure an everlasting beauty look and an extremely high resistance to traffic. Wooden looms are used, in which two distinct sets of yarns are interlaced amongst the weft and warp to form different patterns and personalized designs.

After the briefing, leave the rest to the team. The commercial and design teams have the competence and the know-

-how to choose the most appropriate rug for your space (indoor or outdoor). Production is possible up to 5 m width, whilst the length is limitless, being suitable, inclusively, for wall-to-wall installations. Our projects include private residences, luxury hotels, yachts, public and private buildings and museums, amongst many others. Proud of the heritage , they cherish and rely on the expertise and know-how acquired over the past 74 years to continue to create new designs and products without ever neglecting the origins of the art that they master. Whether it is a small rug, or a large carpet, they focus on each detail to ensure that it is perfect. Every step of the manufacturing process is carefully controlled and each piece has its own ID card, where even the name of the artisan that wove the rug is registered. Being a certified company (ISO 9001:2015), all processes and methods are submitted to TÜV Rheiland Portugal accreditation rules and standards.

In an era dominated by mass production, it stands out not only for the excellent quality that characterizes their products but also for the bespoke concept that they offer. This collection is the reflection of the dedication and commitment to the art of weaving. It is also a result of the fantas-

tic creative work developed in-house by the talented team of designers and artisans with over 70 years of experience.
