It all began with a storyteller. Grandpa António, who would have turned 106 this year, was a man of wisdom and passion for history that had an extraordinary gift: through his words, he transported his grandchildren to worlds of tradition, culture, and memory. His stories were not just tales: they were bridges between generations, carrying the essence of the past into the future. Those moments, filled with fascination and emotion, became the roots of ALMA de LUCE.
A decade ago, brothers Carlos and Helena Costa, inspired by their grandfather’s legacy, envisioned a way to bring these narratives to life. It was not about luxury furniture, it was a brand with a purpose: to celebrate memory and honor cultural heritage. A tribute to memory, culture and craftsmanship. Each piece and creation is a chapter of a story, a timeless emotion engraved in design.
ALMA de LUCE is not just a name in interior design. It's a statement of elegance, exclusivity and cultural heritage. By harmonizing tradition and innovation, the brand has redefined what it means to create pieces that tell stories.
With a presence in prestigious international markets, ALMA de LUCE has become a benchmark in high-end interior design, captivating architects, designers, collectors, and connoisseurs of exclusive furniture worldwide.
With an unwavering commitment to Portuguese craftsmanship, ALMA de LUCE combines the mastery of ancestral techniques with the cutting edge of contemporary design. More than preserving the past, the brand gives it new meaning, fresh expression, and ensures that cultural heritage is not lost, but reborn in forms that transcend generations.
From the earliest collections to the most recent creations, ALMA de LUCE has continuously pushed the boundaries of creativity. In ten years of inspiration, iconic pieces such as the Lungta console, inspired by freedom and Tibetan spirituality, or the more recent Atacama sideboard, which is inspired by the vastness and dramatic variations of the Atacama Desert, one of the most extreme environments on the planet, are examples of the fusion between memory and design.
Each collection is a celebration of the world's cultural diversity. From the richness of African traditions to the sophistication of European architecture, ALMA de LUCE transforms experiences, legends, and symbols into pieces that last over time. This is our way of honoring the beauty of diversity and inviting you to be part of our global story.
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we mark this milestone with a collection that embodies the spirit of ALMA de LUCE. This new collection unites history, art, and innovation, elevating our tribute to memory to a new dimension. The Adamastor rug pays homage to Portugal’s legendary maritime myths, the Harlequin stool captures playful sophistication and the Naruto armchair expresses the perfect balance between tradition and modernity. The Dom Sebastião modular sofa, with its fluid design, exudes grandeur and comfort, while the Marqueyssac modular sofa showcases an exquisite interplay of geometry and softness.
ALMA de LUCE has gained global recognition, with its pieces featured in exclusive residential projects, luxury hotels, and high-profile exhibitions. Collaborations with renowned interior designers and architects further elevate the brand's prestige. Over the years, ALMA de LUCE has received prestigious awards that reinforce its commitment to design excellence and innovation.
Nothing would be possible without people. ALMA de LUCE exists because hearts and minds are dedicated to bringing each piece to life. Everyone has an essential role, from designers to artisans, from visionaries to customers who believe in the brand.
Artisans connect past and future, mastering techniques passed down through generations. Our designers are the dreamers who translate emotions into tangible forms. What about customers and admirers? They are the ones who give meaning to this project, choosing not just a piece of furniture, but a fragment of history and memory to bring into their spaces.
ALMA de LUCE has a firm commitment to sustainability. The use of noble materials is not merely an aesthetic choice. It is an environmental responsibility. We always try to minimize environmental impact, ensuring that the beauty of our pieces does not compromise the planet's future.
Looking back at the last 10 years is a path of achievements. But the future holds even more stories to be told. New collections, challenges, and ways of keeping memory alive through interior design.
ALMA de LUCE begins its second decade with the same commitment that inspired its founding: celebrating memory, paying homage to culture, and creating pieces that transcend time. A brand's true essence is not in what it creates, but in the emotions, it awakens.
This is just the beginning of a new chapter. Thank you for being part of this story!
