Conviction
FURNOVA was founded on the belief that great design and honest craft should be accessible — without compromise on either.
FURNOVA was founded on the belief that great design and honest craft should be accessible — without compromise on either.
FURNOVA began in 2018 in a small workshop in Porto. Our founders — a furniture maker and an interior architect — found themselves frustrated by a market that chose aesthetics over integrity, or integrity over aesthetics.
So they started making their own. Each piece was built by hand from solid hardwoods, natural textiles, and genuine stone. Within a year, the first collection sold out before it even had a website.
Today, FURNOVA ships to 48 countries and employs over 90 craftspeople across studios in Portugal, Italy, and Denmark.
We believe furniture should earn its place in a room — through quality, longevity, and beauty that doesn't fade.
We design for decades. Every proportion and finish is resolved until it's timeless — not just on-trend.
Solid wood, genuine stone, real leather, natural fibres — materials that improve with age and tell their own story.
Every FURNOVA piece is designed to be reupholstered, refinished, and repaired. We provide parts and services for life.
Every piece of timber is independently certified. We can trace the provenance of every board back to the forest.
Our cushions are filled with certified natural latex and goose-down feathers. No petroleum-based memory foam. Ever.
Water-based stains and hardwax oils — better for the air in our workshops and in your home.
FSC-certified cardboard and recycled paper. We eliminated plastic from our packaging entirely in 2022.
