delaespada spotlight andrew kuma ruben and andré form our product development team they work closely with our collaborating designers as well as our craftspeople serving as a vital connection between the numerous stages involved in realising a product when a designer submits a new design the product development team must create cad computer aided design drawings using the designer sketches or 3d renders as a guide the team communicates closely with the designer to understand the intricacies of what they wish to achieve and by combining their own expertise with that of our craftspeople they articulate the details of the product they ensure the product fulfils the goal of the designer while optimising it for cam computer aided machinery assembly and performance implementing their philosophy of constant improvement the team connects every stage from designer to end client considering and refining every aspect of a product in response to feedback from those who design and build to the final customer every product is prototyped more than once before the final version is achieved yet our upholstery is the most demanding requiring several prototypes to achieve the complexities that can t be articulated through drawings comfort and tailoring details it is not uncommon for an upholstered product to require 5 or more prototypes before being finalised elysia lounge chair is one such product with its deep comfort in a refined form and combination of taut upholstery on the shells and carefully delineated ruche effect on the cushions every member of the product development team cites the variety of the job as the most rewarding the fact that every designer is different and every product challenging in a new way the team is linked not only by their work but by their free time as well all enjoy travelling sports and applying their design skills in their personal lives whether through product design or home improvements photography by carlos teixeira design craft

factory positioned in the centre of the woodworking facility between the fabrication and general assembly areas and adjacent to the cnc machines manuel operates as a link between the three raw planks are first processed through fabrication being cut planed and glued into panels before being passed to the cnc machine where they are cut to more precise three dimensional shapes complete with joinery the components then make their way to manuel who creates a sub assembly from the parts his work involves connecting joinery components including mortise and tenon dovetail and wedge tenon he then passes these sub assemblies back to the cnc operators where they are machined a second time for yet more shaping before making their way to the general assembly area where they will become more recognisable as products thirty three years ago manuel arrived as part of the team that built an extension to the main building doubling its size then he decided to stay on as a carpenter and worked in various departments before moving to his current post about his long history here he says i am almost part of the building now photo credit carlos teixeira delaespada delaespadacraft woodcraft

planar surfaces and selection of faces for chests of drawers she works closely with celeste who brings 29 years of experience and together they create the stunning compositions of timber you find on

where all stages of production come together to create the final piece after finishing and upholstery products are passed on to jardel for final assembly having worked in all areas of the factory

standards are met photo credit carlos teixeira permalink 17 jan 2017 the upholstery department at the de la espada factory is adjacent to our woodworking facility and product development office easing the collaboration between the departments this fluid communication allows for the creation of upholstered products that excel in every aspect of craft and performance joaquim or quim keem as he is better known is the head of our upholstery department personally mapping out all of the patterning in addition to overseeing the work of the pattern cutters seamstresses and upholsterers it is his expertise that allows us to achieve precise tailoring and deep comfort on such a diverse portfolio of upholstered products upholstery is a uniquely challenging craft for a variety of reasons finding the right balance of comfort and refined profile defining the best combination of layers for aesthetic and practical performance creating steady seams around complex forms and implementing tailoring details that convey the designer s visual message developing a new upholstered product requires sharp problem solving skills and it is not uncommon to create 10 prototypes before the final result is achieved it is this challenging process which quim finds the most rewarding his role in developing a product stirs a feeling of personal connection to it quim s expertise ensures that the quality of our upholstery meets the same exacting standards as that of our woodworking photo credit carlos teixeira delaespadacraft permalink 16 jan 2017 i ve never done something so luxurious as the work i ve
