Manuel Aires Mateus is an award-winning Lisbon-based architect whose projects explore the roles of memory and knowledge combined with the relationship between the physical and cultural worlds. His work seeks to reflect every scale of our lives and searches for the enduring state of shape and materiality.
With an emphasis on function and the sensory response, his collection for De La Espada reflects a universal heritage that is fixed without time or place. Utilising astonishingly proportioned planks of Douglas Fir timber, the furniture is designed to be passed from generation to generation, earning the value of time and marks of memories past.
Table One reflects a universal heritage that is fixed without time or place. With an emphasis on function and the sensory response, this vast table, with a tabletop made from just two planks of astonishingly proportioned planks of Douglas Fir timber, is designed to be passed from generation to generation, earning the value of time and marks of memories past.
