The Portuguese ROOTS chair marks a new approach in the design of furniture. Its strong lines have also the concern to not invade the space of its user because it uses only what is essential to its construction. They believe that the design is honest, and that people can expect the amount of comfort and quality as they see it. The whole construction is considerable environmental friendly using only natural wood , sometimes cork and finished with natural oils. It`s a real approach to a good design that came to stay for many years to come.

I`m Alexandre Caldas and i`m relevant like everyone else. Regard the importance , it`s better than being famous. To be important is to stay inside people, not by imposition but because they care about us or our work. As for everything else, I do what I love and leave the evaluation for people in general, I don`t think that is wise the self evaluation.
