The Portuguese brand ADICO® stands as one of the great names in national industry, founded in 1920 in Avanca through the entrepreneurial vision of Adelino Dias Costa, who established what would become Portugal’s oldest metal furniture factory and one of the oldest in Europe still in operation. Throughout its history, the Portuguese brand ADICO® has evolved with consistency, mastering new technologies, expanding its activity into different areas of furniture production, and consolidating an identity built on quality, innovation, and timeless design. This legacy finds its fullest expression in the iconic Portuguese Chair, produced since the 1930s, whose formal simplicity, durability, and enduring presence in the everyday lives of several generations have turned it into a true icon of Portuguese design and visual culture. The Portuguese brand ADICO® therefore represents Portugal’s ability to preserve its industrial heritage while projecting it into the future with authenticity, rigour, and relevance.
