The Twenty-Five Collection Celebrates 25 Years of De La Espada
Portuguese furniture maker De La Espada celebrates 25 years by unveiling the Twenty-Five Collection at The Future Perfect's NY gallery space.
Portuguese furniture maker De La Espada is celebrating 25 years with the unveiling of the Twenty-Five Collection at The Future Perfect’s New York gallery space. The collection was designed by De La Espada?s new in-house design studio, De La Espada Atelier, with furniture pieces that look back to the early days of the brand, when design, engineering, and production all took place in-house.
A refined, international aesthetic permeates Twenty-Five, creating a family of detailed, versatile, and tactile furniture pieces. Crafted in solid wood, inspiration was found in the work of 1930’s designers, such as Axel Einar Hjorth and Charlotte Perriand, Dieter Rams, and the Shakers. In celebrating Portugal’s craft heritage, the collection includes work made in collaboration with local artisans including Toino Abel, Fabricaal, and Viúva Lamego.
“When I design or think about things, I want them to be beautiful, but I also want them to be humble and honest,” Simon Kämpfer, Head Designer of De La Espada Atelier said. Twenty-Five accomplishes all of the above while highlighting the materials in use: tiles, blankets, junco, and cork. Small, scooped-out details in the wood further emphasize its grain.
