Álvaro Siza and Souto de Moura truly define the traditional role of an architect, in the old sense of the world, for not only do they design the buildings but they design the furniture, lighting and fixings housed within. Often the pieces are named after the buildings which they were designed for.
Their furniture are still made by the same carpenters. Each piece meticulously made to exquisite details and exacting standards of workmanship, stamped with initials to authenticate the piece.
