EXCELLENCE IN THE ART OF DECORATION It
is an Architecture and Interior Design brand, but it
is best known for
the uniqueness and creativity that characterises
it.
SAARANHA&VASCONCELOS brand was born in Lisbon, Portugal, by the hand of its founding partners, who derive from their travels around the world the inspiration that makes them create unique and sophisticated ambiances, achieving the level of higher demands.
Synonymous with creativity, exclusivity, sophistication and contemporaneity, always with a strong connection to art. That is how one should characterise SAARANHA&VASCONCELOS, a benchmark with regard to the areas of Architecture and Interior Design.
It opened in Lisbon, in 1985, at the hands of its founding partners, Carmo Aranha and Rosario Tello, both responsible for the brand’s creation and development. In terms of design, architecture or even decoration, little was produced in Portugal and a lot was reproduced by other countries, especially European. The novelties came almost always from Paris, London or New York, because they were the main references of the time. They called it the “adventure of creativity”. Fruit of the trips they made and the will and determination to create objects that made the difference, the studio cast into the product lines of design, seasonal collections for the home and lifestyle in various materials from acrylic, cone, stone or wood. It was guaranteed success.
Requests for the creation of residential ambiances began to emerge in this area. Project after project, the studio was gaining experience and expression with regard to architecture and interior design. Consequently, the admiration for the work done eventually generated project requests also for the business and shopping areas. The tailor-made practice focused on the goals of overcoming obstacles and of customisation in achieving the dream of those who reached the studio. It was a decisive factor to put the SA&V’s Brand on the level where it currently is. Conspicuous by their attention to detail, SAARANHA&VASCONCELOS is a brand of excellence which is easily identifiable. “In every project we create, we include unique pieces created as elements, designed by us and produced in Portugal”, they reveal.
Since the beginning of its activity, SAARANHA&VASCONCELOS has been crafting objects and products. Along with the design development of special furniture pieces for their projects, the studio decided in 2011 to create complementary products to enrich their ambiances. Thus in 2012, they launched a line of candles with exclusive fragrances (Quase Branco / Off White and Novo Preto / New Black), in 2013 the music CD “Exciting Lisbon” (a tribute to Lisbon) in 2015, the institutional book “30 Anos / Years”, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the brand, and more recently, in November 2016, the book “COMMANDMENTS,” the first of a series.
BRAND INTERNATIONALISATION The internationalisation of the brand has been a process that has been developed over the years. It was in 2011 that was achieved with the
launch of SA&V International. With management at headquarters in Lisbon, there are also two operating centres in Zurich, Switzerland and San Francisco, United States of America. The business polo in Zurich allows the studio to cover the entire European and Chinese markets, as the hub of San Francisco intends to cover the market of North America. Through this process SA&V have already affected projects in Spain, Switzerland, United States of America and China. “The strength of the studio brings a very beneficial safety increase when we decided to explore other markets.”
In addition to this international expansion, foreign clients in Portugal are a great presence for SAARANHA&VASCONCELOS. “Portugal is a trendy place to live! We have several clients who come here to live, or purchase second homes, and seek our company because of the experience and know-how they recognise in us in dealing with the specifics of each culture, country and origin.” The studio already made projects in Portugal for Russian, French and Chinese clients, among others.
CONSISTENT TEAM SAARANHA&VASCONCELOS’s team is led by founding partners, Carmo Aranha and Rosario Tello, together with younger partners Ana Camões
and Francisca Perestrelo. It consists of about 22 employees, “multi-faceted and multi-purpose people” who, with talent and commitment, keep the brand as a symbol of creativity and quality at the level of all requirements. “We have a team prepared to face the projects both in Portugal and in any of the international markets where the brand is already present.”
QUALITY AND EXCELLENCE “We have the experience of 32 years of existence with a professional, dynamic and solid team, with business partners who have joined us. We
have the perception that customers are increasingly aware of the quality and expect that suppliers fulfil actively pro-higher quality requirements of products and services.” The brand has also received the ISO 9001:2008 certification, according to international standards. “This is another way of demonstrating our commitment to quality and the satisfaction of our clients.” The uniqueness of the SAARANHA&VASCONCELOS brand is the result of the inspiration of the partners, world travellers and discoverers of cultures, spaces and artists whose collaboration enables the creation of a unique essence in each project.
