MANUFACTURERS SINCE 1964
PROUDLY MADE IN PORTUGAL
Our craftsmanship
Our story began in 1964 with two brothers working together in a small joinery workshop in the north of Portugal. Through the years, that workshop grew and became the company "Móveis Carlos Alfredo" which is specialized in manufacturing & exporting solid wood furniture for more than five decades.
The quality of our products is deeply rooted in the strong Portuguese traditions of craftsmanship and furniture making, and we constantly strive to improve our work.
Most of our staff stays for life and the accumulating experience over generations makes a firm foundation for our know-how.
THE BRAND
Wewood - Portuguese Joinery was founded in 2012, by the second generation of owners of that same company, after four years of hard work to raise a design house proud of its heritage and grounded in the principles of quality of the materials, durable construction and timeless design.
Carlos Alfredo and his sons Salvador Gonzaga and Carlos Silva (Wewood founders).
Like our business, furniture should be passed down from one generation to another without losing its charm.
the perfect combination of design and woodworking between artisans and designers.
We produce for those that appreciate the rigorous process required for high-quality manufacturing and renewable resources. Our pieces are crafted in small production runs, as we strive to maintain the artistry and grace in traditional high-quality craftsmanship at a viable human scale with ethical methods of production.
Our ambition is to create timeless, functional and aesthetically intriguing furniture that promotes Portuguese culture and design. That's why we try to identify and nurture talent both in the inspiration and creativity of a carefully chosen group of international designers and the hands, wisdom, and experience of our craftsmen.
We believe that everything we do is driven by an unwavering passion for creating a product of excellence.
