De La Espada is a Portuguese company with offices in London and New York, has nearly two decades of experience in the design, craft and retail of solid wood modern furniture. De La Espada designs are understated, timeless and functional, making generous use of solid wood planks in dramatic proportions. Each piece is characterised by traditional joinery and the natural colour and grain variations of American black walnut or American white oak from sustainable farms. The De La Espada aesthetic evolved from influences including the Arts and Crafts movement, architects such as Tadao Ando, Luis Barragan, John Pawson, and Alvaro Siza, and Scandinavian design from the 1950s. ‘...De La Espada, a curious factory without time: minimal forms, wood, a modernity that casts its eye at artisanal tradition’, Case da Abitare.
