Professional Background

João Faria is an architect from Northern Portugal. After an 18 year activity in architecture and teaching, he has devoted his time to designing objects that really meant something for him. Emotional Objects is born from this passion. He designs objects for his needs and hopes that someone else likes it too. Objects are created from this need and then, the design is taken to its limits, without compromises. João makes its own prototypes and tests its ideas and solution like a sculptor. After testing one or several solutions, its time to choose the best artisans to make it feasible. Manufacturing it's always very limited, mostly due to the design characteristics. First of all, its a labour of love.

Lazy Day Collection
Joao Faria drew the Lazy Day Collection in 2014, but he only launched it in 2020. The armchairs and sofas' designs are original, edgy and sophisticated, with two slightly different versions: Classic and Modern. The most remarkable feature is the rounded back, made with carefully book matched wood veneers. In November 2020, Interior Design Magazine featured this sofa as a statement seat.

Mix and Match
Mix and match is an original collection of wooden benches designed mostly for hotels, entrances and commercial buildings. Fun, fresh and edgy could be some of the words to describe these objects that make people smile every time they look and use them. There are three sizes available, six different chairs to choose from and a small table to use with a laptop. In option, each bench can house usb sockets for charging phones and tablets. But the main goal is their endless customization options, almost unlimited, that makes each piece a unique object. Build your own!
