Bespoke furniture · Portugal
Bespoke solid wood furniture, made in Portugal.
I design and build heirloom furniture from solid European hardwoods in my Lisbon atelier. Dining tables, beds, dressers, nightstands and seating — joined with dovetails and mortise-and-tenon, finished in natural oils. Each piece is one of one, made for the room it's going to live in.
What I make
Dining and side tables, bed frames and nightstands, dressers and sideboards, desks, benches, and one-off seating like the Abra chair. Custom dimensions, wood species and details — I design around your room, not the other way around.
Materials and joinery
European and white oak, ash, walnut, cherry and (on request) jatobá. Hand-cut dovetails on drawer boxes, mortise-and-tenon at the structural joints, hardwax oil finishes that age and refinish well. Built so a piece can be repaired and passed on.
Where I ship
Most pieces are delivered and installed by me across Greater Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Setúbal and Comporta. I can ship larger commissions elsewhere in Portugal, and internationally on request.
How a commission works
Brief and references → design sketches and material samples → fixed-price quote → build in my Lisbon atelier with progress photos → delivery, installation and care notes. Most furniture pieces take 6 to 10 weeks.

Bespoke furniture questions
- How much does a bespoke dining table cost?
- Solid-oak dining tables typically start around €3,500 and scale with size, wood species and base detailing. A fixed-price quote follows your brief and references.
- How long does a custom piece take?
- Most freestanding furniture takes 6 to 10 weeks from approval to delivery. Larger or more complex commissions can take longer; I'll be clear about timing upfront.
- Can I choose the wood species?
- Yes. I work mainly in European and white oak, ash, walnut and cherry, with jatobá and other species available on request. I send physical samples before the build begins.
- Do you ship outside Lisbon?
- I deliver and install myself across Greater Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Setúbal and Comporta. For other regions of Portugal — and select international projects — I arrange specialist shipping.
- What guarantee do you offer on furniture?
- Two years on workmanship, with refinishing and repair advice for the life of the piece. Solid wood furniture is designed to be looked after, not thrown away.
- Do you take on small commissions?
- Yes — a single nightstand, bench or side table is a perfectly good place to start. Many of my larger projects begin with one piece.
