(01) — The practice
Furniture you keep for a lifetime. Objects you
notice every day.
I trained as a cabinetmaker before I studied design, and it still shows. Every piece is drawn, built and lived with in the studio before it gets a name. Fewer pieces, made better, made to be mended.

Every piece starts as a drawing at full scale, pinned to the studio wall until the proportions stop bothering me.
(05) — Kind words
Made to be lived with. Here’s how that goes.
“
We ordered six Arc Chairs for our dining room two years ago. They’re sat on every single day and still look like the morning they arrived.

Mira listened far more than she talked. The pendants she made for our restaurant are the first thing guests ask about.
Kenji Arai
Restaurant owner, Porto
“
The Halo Vessel is the quietest object in our collection, and the one visitors stand in front of the longest.
Margit Holm
Curator, Oslo
(06) — Before you ask
Good things to know.
Can I commission something that isn’t in the collection?
Yes. About half of what I make each year is commissioned. We start with a call, then a sketch and a fixed quote before anything is built.
How long does a piece take?
Do you ship outside Portugal?
What if something breaks?
(07) — Commission a piece
Make something to keep.
Tell me about the room, the people and how you want it to feel. I reply within two working days, usually with a question or two.
