Move over, Vasco da Gama

Portugal's imperial past might be, well, somewhat in the past, but there's a new Iberian project underway with its sights on an international profile. Wewood, the ultra-high-craftsmanship-driven brand founded by the sons of woodworking specialists and based in Porto – the home of the country's furniture-making industry – has seen its business and team grow steadily since its founding in 2012.

But don't take my word for it. Check out Wewood's new catalogue to see how the company is exporting its contemporary, Portuguese-influenced vision.
