Boca do Lobo was founded in 2005 by designers Amandio Pereira and Ricardo Magalhães in Rio Tinto, north-east of Porto. From the outset, the brand set itself an ambitious goal: to reinterpret ancient craft techniques and create unexpected pieces of contemporary design. Its debut collection, SOHO, made a splash when it was unveiled in London, setting the brand on a path of rapid growth.

The brand describes its mission as that of “a Portuguese design house that turned contemporary furniture design on its head, introducing the world to a new dimension of detail and a timeless vision capable of changing the game.” Each piece is handcrafted in workshops near Porto, where cabinetmakers, jewellers, gilders, and lacquerers pass it from one craftsperson to the next until every seam, curve, and polished detail is perfected.

In 2007, the brand arrived at Harrods, the legendary London department store. In 2009, Boca do Lobo received the Most Innovative Brand Award at Maison et Objet in Paris for the unconventional, boundary-pushing furniture that has become its hallmark. In 2015, two of its pieces—the Diamond Sideboard and Pixel Anodised Cabinet—were chosen for Christian Grey’s penthouse in Fifty Shades of Grey, opening the door to Hollywood. Today, the brand’s admirers include John Legend and Beyoncé, as well as the Saudi royal family. Boca do Lobo has taken part in more than 200 international exhibitions and exhibits at Salone del Mobile in Milan, Maison&Objet in Paris, Art Basel, and Design Miami. Its showrooms are located in New York, London, Paris, Milan, Valencia, and Porto.

BRABBU was officially launched in September 2011 at Decorex International in London. The brand was born from a gap its founders saw in the interior design market: there was no brand with a distinctive, expressive style and an integrated collection that would allow professionals to furnish an entire residential or hospitality space.

BRABBU is a world of contemporary high-end interior design, where every piece is created to tell a story of strength, culture, nature, and refinement. The brand’s designs are conceived as “gifts for the senses.” BRABBU’s designers draw inspiration from the raw forms and untamed forces of nature, travel and the world’s cultural diversity, the mid-century era, and cosmopolitan life. The brand’s signature materials include brass, a versatile and on-trend choice; marble, an imposing and timeless Portuguese stone; and velvet, an elegant, soft upholstery fabric.

In 2012, BRABBU received the Best of the Show award at Salone del Mobile. In October 2013, the Sequoia Center Table was recognised at High Point Market. In January 2014, the KOI Dining Table II received an Interior Innovation Award, while the Yoho Stool was honoured at Maison et Objet. That September, the Namib Armchair also received an award at Maison et Objet. In 2015, BRABBU furniture featured in Fifty Shades of Grey, bringing the brand further international recognition. BRABBU was also nominated for the Interior Innovation Award 2014 and selected as a trendsetter by analysts Nelly Rodi and François Bernard.
BRABBU regularly exhibits at Salone del Mobile in Milan and Maison&Objet in Paris, and takes part in ICFF in New York and CASA DECOR in Madrid.

Essential Home began in 2015 as the Essentials furniture collection within Portuguese lighting brand DelightFULL. The idea was to create pieces that would complement the design of its lighting—but the collection soon exceeded all expectations. It quickly grew into an independent brand and one of the most elegant names in mid-century modern design.

Essential Home draws on significant historical and cinematic references from the 1930s to the 1960s, from the glamour of 1940s Hollywood to the everyday details of the era, and transforms them into distinctive furniture. The brand seeks to strike the perfect balance between past and present, giving mid-century furniture a contemporary feel. The company describes this as “a journey through time within a single space.”

All Essential Home furniture is handcrafted in Portugal by some of the country’s finest artisans. The brand offers more than 1,000 fabric and material options, allowing clients to choose the colour of every detail on each piece. In 2022, Essential Home introduced the Kasual collection, created in collaboration with Karim Rashid, one of today’s most influential designers. Essential Home is a regular exhibitor at Salone del Mobile in Milan, Maison et Objet in Paris, IMM Cologne, the Architectural Digest Design Show in New York, and 100% Design London.

Ana Roque Interiors is a Portuguese brand founded in 1996 by Ana Roque, an acclaimed interior designer whose outstanding career in architecture and interior design has earned her numerous awards. The company initially specialised in interior design, but in 2014 shifted its focus to creating furniture and lighting collections for the international luxury market. Today, the brand is represented in more than 20 countries, including Spain, France, Morocco, the United States, Sri Lanka, and Saudi Arabia.

Each piece is conceived as “a curated experience”—“a whisper of luxury and a promise of timeless beauty.” The brand keeps a close eye on leading international trends in architecture and fashion, allowing it to tailor and personalise each piece to suit the client’s preferences. Its distinctive designs are the result of carefully selected materials, including glass, stainless steel, brass, wood, marble, and premium fabrics.

In 2012, Ana Roque received the MOBIS Award for Best Interior Designer in Portugal. Her store won the Troféu MÓBIS award for Best Furniture Store in Portugal twice, in 2008 and 2009. The brand was shortlisted for the Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2020 in the Best Furniture and Homeware in Portugal category. Ana Roque Interiors is a regular exhibitor at Maison&Objet in Paris and other international trade fairs. It is the choice for those who value authenticity, exclusivity, and impeccable quality built on decades of experience.
