The empire strikes back
There may be a touch of whimsy in its name, but Wewood, with a decade in business under its belt, is serious about what it does. Applying immaculate, centuries-old Portuguese craftsmanship to contemporary furniture designs, the brand delivers an exquisitely drawn portfolio of products that are built to last. No trends here. Just judicious material selection, top-notch construction – and a love of bespoke, contract-focused solutions. Oh, and a new design director, too.
