Milan, London, Barcelona, and beyond. If we had to summarize 2025 in a single sentiment, it would be momentum. This was not a year of standing still; it was a year of bold expansion, where we took the essence of Portuguese craftsmanship to the world’s most prestigious stages.
From the bustling aisles of iSaloni to the curated elegance of Decorex and the innovation of Interihotel, 2025 was a defining chapter. We didn’t just attend these events; we used them to expand our creative universe, engaging in a global dialogue about what luxury interiors mean today. Between award nominations and exciting collaborations, we strengthened our footprint across the international landscape.
As we prepare to turn the page to 2026, we look back at the milestones that made this year unforgettable—a testament to originality, resilience, and design excellence.
Architectural Volumes: The Bellagio Era
This year marked a pivotal shift in our design language with the introduction of the Bellagio Collection, designed by Santiago Sevillano. We moved beyond simple functionality to explore furniture as domestic architecture, creating a cohesive family of pieces where each element acts as a structural pillar of the room.
The narrative begins with the Bellagio Dining Table, the piece that established the collection’s geometric vocabulary. It was designed to bring a sense of sculptural stability to intimate dining settings. The focus here is on the central column—a bold, faceted volume that supports the top with effortless strength. It challenges the fragility of traditional table legs, offering instead a solid, grounding presence that turns even a casual meal into a curated experience.
Scaling up this ambition, the Bellagio Dining Table XL was introduced for spaces that demand grandeur. This is not simply a larger version; it is a monumental expansion of the concept. Engineered to accommodate the abundance of the season and large-scale gatherings, the XL iteration features a dual-column structure that commands the room. It transforms the dining area into a banquet hall, providing an expansive surface that celebrates the art of hosting without compromising on the collection’s signature architectural elegance.
Complementing these dining anchors is the Bellagio Sideboard, a piece that translates the collection’s rigorous lines into storage. It treats the concept of “containment” as an art form. The facade is characterized by a rhythmic play of vertical lines and volume, creating a dynamic visual texture that shifts with the light. It serves as the perfect counterpoint to the table, providing a sophisticated canvas for display while grounding the periphery of the dining space with its robust silhouette.
Finally, recognizing the need for adaptability in modern interiors, we launched the Bellagio Modular Sideboard. This iteration takes the static beauty of the original and adds a layer of versatile fluidity. It allows interior designers to play with length and composition, tailoring the storage solution to the specific architectural constraints of a wall. It is the ultimate expression of the collection’s philosophy: that furniture should not just fill a space, but actively shape and define it.
The Industry Consensus: Best Sellers of 2025
While innovation drives us forward, our classics keep us grounded. Throughout 2025, certain pieces cemented their status as true icons, becoming the go-to choices for interior designers worldwide.
This year’s Best Sellers tell a story of refined comfort. The Sierra collection, with its organic flow, and the tailored sophistication of the Essex collection, dominated the specification sheets of top-tier hospitality and residential projects. These models transcended trends, proving that “Design with Soul” is not just a slogan—it is a quality that professionals rely on, project after project.
Joining the ranks of this year’s icons is the Sierra Dining Chair, a piece that continues to be a celebration of Portuguese joinery. Its success in 2025 is attributed to its refusal of sharp angles; the solid ash wood frame flows in continuous, fluid lines that invite the hand to touch. Designers repeatedly selected the Sierra for its ability to bring tactile warmth and organic softness to rigid architectural spaces, proving that a dining chair can be both visually light and structurally robust.
Essex Lounge Chair In the category of leisure, the Essex Lounge Chair cemented its status as a cosmopolitan essential. Drawing inspiration from the architectural confidence of New York City, this piece became a go-to for projects requiring a “gentleman’s club” aesthetic updated for the modern era. Its popularity this year speaks to a desire for furniture that commands space; with its tailored upholstery and assertive silhouette, the Essex offers a moment of stillness and power, making it a favorite for high-end hotel lobbies and executive suites alike.
