Portuguese furniture imprint De La Espada unveils its new Twenty-Five Collection as a celebration of its quarter-century anniversary. It was presented at the Future Perfect New York gallery space and made by the brand's in-house design studio De La Espada Atelier. The pieces in the range highlight its own heritage, nodding to the pioneering days of the brand.
The design, production, and engineering all took place in-house to create a detailed range of furniture pieces with international aesthetics. It is made in solid wood and inspired by the work of designers from the 30s. This includes the likes of "Axel Einar Hjorth and Charlotte Perriand, Dieter Rams, and the Shakers." Head of design at De La Espada Atelier Simin Kämpfer states that “When I design or think about things, I want them to be beautiful, but I also want them to be humble and honest."
