WHEN DESIGN MEETS LEGACY: NOW IS THE TIME TO DISCOVER THE STYLE MADE IN PORTUGAL naturally
Portugal is the 22nd largest global furniture exporter, with a total of €1.24B in gross value. Portuguese brands conquered over 160 world markets.
Portuguese home decor, furniture, and design1 are all about legacy and tradition, a craft built over the ages by the finest artisans. This form of art is seconded by histories carved in wood, stone, and fabric, put together to form a unique piece that will persist over time. Industry-wise, the production evolved to a new level of sophistication and contemporary design that never overshadows the craftsmen and human touch of simplicity and style composed by rich textures, natural exotic wood, and gorgeous new colors.
The craft legacy is also carved in sustainability. The Portuguese industry is firmly committed to environmental concerns, adopting the best practices to mitigate the ecological and social impact of the manufacturing processes. A strong example is the increased use of natural cork in a significant range of products. Cork is present in light fixtures, coverings, home furniture, and even on subway chairs in Lisbon. This natural material has no limits, and Portugal is the world's biggest producer, with an overwhelming knowledge of all its possibilities and flexibility.
The new Google store in New York City is an excellent example of the great use of natural cork in interior design. Inaugurated in June 2021, almost all furniture is made with Portuguese natural cork. "I truly believe that cork is a high-value material for the future of design and architecture. It has incredible characteristics and performance and, in addition, sustains an entire ecosystem, being a unique example that all materials should follow (…)," states Daniel Michalik, head designer for the furniture project.
