Douro Valley Collection

This engineered wood floors collection is inspired by the vibrant Douro Valley, where every landscape tells the story of the soul of Portugal. Here, the hills stretch out under the golden light, housing vineyards and villages that whisper the secrets of a simple, generous life. The Douro is also about taste: exceptional wine, heart-warming cuisine and, above all, a people whose hospitality reflects the very essence of this land. These inhabitants are what we might call “the salt of the earth.” A warm, welcoming and authentic people.

The wood we produce is an invitation to live and relive the enchantment of this place. The colour palette, inspired by the natural tones of the Douro, gives life to emerging spaces and is full of possibilities. This flooring is designed to last and offers a setting where simplicity blends with depth and where every step recalls the gentle, timeless energy of the valley.

Lagos Collection

This collection is inspired by Lagos, the region of Portugal where land and ocean meet in a spectacle of light and colour. Lagos, famous for its golden cliffs and hidden beaches, evokes a gentle and wild beauty, bringing to mind a warm place that invites contemplation.

With a generous ¾” thickness, this floor offers lasting stability and comfort in every step. We chose shades that recall the natural glow of Lagos’ shores: light shades for a clean, modern look, and deeper tones to reveal the full soul and texture of the wood. The Lagos collection captures a fragment of Lagos, a reflection of the landscape that invites itself into your home.
