WHAT IS LUXURY FOR US?
Many luxury brands around the world spend a lot of time and money creating an aura of luxury and exclusivity. But luxury is subjective and depends on peoples’ tastes. Our luxury might not be the luxury for others. Beyond function, we believe that our objects must arise for their originality, edginess and high quality. We make exclusive furniture with the best materials that we can find and excellent techniques. For us, that´s luxury. Unique objects that provide pleasure and happiness to their owners. Just like art, superfluous.
THIS IS NOT A TREND
From unique pieces or limited-edition furniture to custom made wishes, our design does not follow trends or fashion. Instead, they stand out from the crowd, pushing forward, testing boundaries and never stop innovating. We proudly see our objects as future classics. Distinct and timeless objects, with strong ideas and concepts behind them, that will stand the test of time.
OUR ARTISANS
There are real people behind our objects. In most cases, second or third generation of Portuguese craftsmen who spend all their lives learning and mastering their art. Proud artisans, treated with respect, who make our objects possible. Perfectly imperfect. Handmade.
ORIGINALITY AND PASSION ARE CONSTANTS
We are truly passionate about our work. Every time we have an idea, we give it a name and a number and explore it until its last consequences. If it’s original, we will find a way to make it. Otherwise, we forget it.
SO, WHAT IS AN EMOTIONAL OBJECT?
All Emotional Objects are designed and manufactured with the purpose of making a connection with us. Far from transparency, they provoke reactions, happy sensations, as a smile, or even passion.
