Emerging from a shared curiosity about material, craft, and narrative, this collaboration between Zak + Fox and The Future Perfect reimagines a selection of De La Espada’s iconic forms through the lens of textile. Pattern, texture, and silhouette converge in pieces that feel both intimate and expansive.
Defined by refined materials, masterful joinery, and understated architectural elegance, De La Espada has long been celebrated for its commitment to craftsmanship and sustainable production in Portugal. With a century-deep dedication to design integrity, the studio’s work offers a timeless foundation for contemporary living.
Founded by Creative Director Zak Profera, Zak + Fox is a New York–based studio known for storytelling through material, colour, and pattern, drawing inspiration from myth, travel, and the tactile beauty of craft traditions. Each design carries a distinct narrative voice that brings depth and warmth to the spaces it inhabits.
Developed in close dialogue with The Future Perfect, this project brings Zak + Fox’s expressive textiles to De La Espada’s architectural silhouettes, creating pieces defined by texture, presence, and quiet poetry.
Highlighted works on view include:
- Flores Medium Coffee Table, sculptural and soft, with a timber top resting over an upholstered base.
- Maria Medium Side Table, a refined balance of form and function.
- Twenty-Five Upholstered Bed, where precision meets tactile comfort.
- Albireo Sofa, a flexible seating system with gentle curves and ease.
