After architecture, furniture design became a second nature. I was interessed in researching new forms  and how these furniture pieces shape the space. With a minimal aproach as far as design but without forgeting history and form. We started producing high-end furniture pieces using the best craftsmenship with attention to quality and detail. Our intention is always to design and manufacture unique and elegant pieces.

Being a freelance furniture designer for over 15 years when I moved to Buffalo, NY from Porto, Portugal I decided to create my own brand. In 2013, I opened my showroom / contemporary art gallery in Buffalo, NY where I design the Lafayette collection. 
Recently I have been interested in creating / designing sustainable furniture using green materials such as bamboo and hemp.
