There is a skill in the hands of those who work with wood that cannot be learnt from books alone. It is passed on, refined and carried through generations. It is within this heritage that the origins of the Portuguese brand WEWOOD PORTUGUESE JOINERY® can be found, with a history dating back to 1964, when two brothers began working in a small joinery workshop in Northern Portugal. That family project would go on to become a company specialising in solid wood furniture and, in 2012, the second generation took a new step by creating the Portuguese brand WEWOOD PORTUGUESE JOINERY®, bringing decades of craftsmanship together with contemporary design. From Gandra, near Porto, the Portuguese brand WEWOOD PORTUGUESE JOINERY® produces furniture in Portugal that is designed to last, drawing on the expertise of its craftspeople and on collaborations with Portuguese and international designers. Produced in small series, each piece reveals close attention to the material, the joints, the finishes and the details, preserving joinery techniques that see technology as an ally rather than a substitute. More than following passing trends, the Portuguese brand WEWOOD PORTUGUESE JOINERY® seeks to create timeless, functional furniture capable of being passed from one generation to the next. It is a contemporary expression of something Portugal has long known how to do: transform materials with intelligence, precision and sensitivity, preserving Portuguese know-how while projecting it to the world.
