Lacquer Studios

Lacquer Studios was established in 1995 by Pedro da Costa Felgueiras. The studio specialises in Oriental and European lacquer as well as historic paint techniques. Pedro has researched widely in workshop manuals and treatises from the past, collected rare old pigments, and revived lost methods of paint application and lacquer.

With this wealth of knowledge and painstaking dedication, Pedro now uses the labour-intensive techniques of the past to produce modern pieces of singular beauty and integrity. These pieces are of the highest quality, and have been described as ‘intimate and unique – a truly inspiring combination of craft and artistry.’ They are seen not only as pieces of furniture but as collectable works of art.

The Modern House Says
"Equal parts craftsman, artist, maker and historian, Pedro’s holistic approach to his chromatic creations demonstrates mastery at every step."
