PORVENTURA, is a contemporary furniture brand that develops and produces exclusively in Portugal. 

In its collection, there are typologies of objects ranging from the chairs, tables and storage systems designed by two of the most promising Portuguese Designers, Filipe Ventura and Miguel Soeiro. 

With a semi-industrial production, PORVENTURA, uses natural woods and its derivatives, with a special attention on the selection of its raw materials and finishes, which results in pieces with a unique durability. 

FILIPE VENTURA – BIO 

Filipe’s main source of inspiration in the development of pieces is centred in the exploration and analysis of the forms, concepts and aesthetics found in architecture, aiming to transpose to furniture an additional value, bringing to the interior of the spaces a dynamic interrelation between architecture, furniture, art and the people’s lives. 

The aim is to create a contemporary, timeless object that unites and allows a relationship in which all objects in the inhabited space are in harmony and can be seen together and individually.
