De La Espada was founded by Fátima de la Espada and Luís de Oliveira, a husband-and-wife team from Madrid and Porto who opened their first shop in London and never stopped designing and building furniture themselves. Early collections drew on the Arts & Crafts tradition and the pared-back architecture of Tadao Ando and John Pawson — a lineage still visible in every mortise-and-tenon joint. Today the company designs, engineers and builds nearly everything in-house at its solar-powered workshop on Portugal’s Silver Coast, where around a hundred craftspeople combine advanced machinery with hand-finishing on solid American walnut, oak and ash.
The Twenty-Five desk is shown here in Danish oiled walnut with brass hardware, and comes equally in ash or solid oak, its single drawer detailed in a black Marquina marble inset that runs across the front rather than sitting flush and hidden. Also available in oxidised oak, white oiled ash and white oiled oak, the desk lets one small slab of stone quietly upgrade an otherwise plain wooden surface.
De La Espada furniture reflects a confident command of generations-old craft wisdom and research-led modern design. Contrary to the way the majority of products are made today, a single workshop on Portugal’s Silver Coast is the beating heart of every De La Espada piece. It is from one of Europe’s most significant centres of excellence in woodworking and upholstery that their furniture is sent directly to homes and public spaces all over the world. They have an in-house design studio, De La Espada Atelier, and also collaborate with nine leading international designers, as well as Portuguese artisans whose craft they highlight in their products. De La Espada represents true luxury: creativity rather than imitation; extensive research and development; traditional methods that are in scarce supply; a singular aesthetic point-of-view; and no compromise when it comes to materials or effort.
