Headquartered in Porto, at the heart of Europe’s most prominent furniture production cluster, the studio benefits from a privileged location that enhances its ability to deliver furniture, upholstery, and lighting solutions.

By uniting artisanal mastery, passed down through generations, with the creativity of a multidisciplinary Portuguese design team, Emotional Brands owns and manages a portfolio of five distinctive high-end brands that celebrate individuality, cultural richness, and the timeless art of craftsmanship.

From concept to execution, the integrated service includes design consultancy, technical development, material curation, and full production coordination, ensuring exceptional outcomes tailored to each project.
