The Azores Collection is a series of nine modular furniture elements designed by Italian designer Luca Nichetto for Portuguese luxury furnishings outfit De La Espada. The collection takes its name from Portugal’s breathtaking Azores Archipelago, mirroring its organic formations through soft, rounded shapes. The seating and table modules were conceived as islands, designed to standalone or come together to create various, flexible compositions. The internal feet of each module are concealed to further the island motif, creating an illusion that each piece floats like the islands of the archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. Each of the nine elements is named after an island of the Azores: Faial Lounge Chair, Miguel Sofa, Jorge Sofa, Pico Daybed, Terceira Sofa, Graciosa Side Table, Maria Side Table, Corvo Coffee Table, and Flores Coffee Table. Drawing on De La Espada’s long working history with solid wood, the organic, sculptural bases and tabletops are expertly crafted and complement the collection’s plush upholstery.
