Cardones: Design, Craft, and Conscious Production
About Cardones
Born from a dialogue between France and Latin America, Cardones designs high-end minimalist furniture and decorative objects, combining clean lines, raw materials, and artisanal craftsmanship. The brand embraces a sensitive and engaged approach to contemporary design, built on close collaborations with European and Latin American artisans, fostering a meaningful exchange between traditional techniques and modern design principles.
The studio focuses on creating timeless designs, using durable materials and carefully controlled production methods. All pieces are designed in France and manufactured in France and Portugal, in partnership with workshops selected for the quality of their craftsmanship and their commitment to sustainability.
Cardones offers high-end furniture collections — including chairs, tables, lamps, and stools — as well as fully customizable bespoke pieces (fabrics, finishes, colors) for residential, hospitality, and professional projects. The studio also supports other brands, designers, and companies — particularly within the luxury sector — by providing production consulting and end-to-end manufacturing management for decorative objects, from design development to industrial coordination.
Cardones’ primary objective is to connect with partners capable of distributing their products in the premium segment. They are also open to direct collaborations with interior architects, specifiers, boutiques, and showrooms—particularly for bespoke projects within the premium and hospitality niche—while remaining capable of producing at scale when relevant.
