Vista Alegre, an iconic name in the Portuguese design landscape currently celebrating two centuries of history, now takes a bold step by unveiling its first furniture collection. For this landmark launch, the brand has partnered with the prestigious Pininfarina, globally recognised for its aesthetic refinement and innovation in industrial design.
This inaugural furniture collection is called Accento and stems from the partnership with the legendary Italian design house, renowned worldwide for its creations in the automotive world and its unmistakable aesthetic. Accento introduces a new design language for the Portuguese brand, marked by the sophistication of materials, the purity of form and a sculptural approach in which design comes alive in every curve, volume and texture.
With sculptural forms, clean lines and a contemporary approach, the furniture reflects a new dimension of luxury, blending Portuguese savoir-faire with Italian sophistication. The collection comprises seven essential pieces: a dining table, sideboard, armchair, chair and three coffee tables, distinguished by the use of noble materials such as ash wood, hand-stitched leather and natural Nero Marquina stone, with polished or matte finishes protected against staining. The fluid lines evoke the dynamic contours of 1950s and 60s Italian cars, with details reminiscent of luxury interiors.
Fusion of Portuguese tradition and automotive design
Each element has been conceived to offer a sensorial and aesthetic experience. The sideboard, for example, is entirely upholstered in leather, including the interior, and features soft-opening doors, showcasing craftsmanship of the highest order. Meanwhile, the metal structure of the chairs and tables, encased in high-density foam, provides comfort without compromising visual lightness.
Accento is clearly positioned within the premium segment, reflecting not only the luxury of its materials but also the creative boldness that defines this new chapter for Vista Alegre. A chapter that has already garnered international recognition, having been awarded the German Design Award, yet another testament to the fact that tradition and innovation can indeed walk side by side with remarkable elegance.
This launch not only celebrates the brand’s 200th anniversary but also marks a new era for Vista Alegre: a brand which, while preserving its time-honoured prestige, reinvents and surprises, now also in the art of living.
