Modern Talasnal DEDAR Boucle Pouf Ottoman, Handmade in Portugal by Greenapple

GF Modern is Greenapple's heritage collection: new furniture in the decorative styles of the past, made in its atelier near Lisbon, Portugal.Most pieces draw on European design of the 1920s and 1930s and on Art Deco.Others follow Neoclassical lines or the carved and gilded Baroque woodwork that Portugal calls talha dourada.Every piece is made by cabinetmakers, carvers, gilders and upholsterers using traditional techniques, and most can be customized in size, fabric and finish.

Greenapple is a Portuguese design house that creates captivating pieces using distinctive forms, colors and materials. Its 21st-century furniture combines luxury with an uncommon eye for design. Greenapple creates high-end furniture and bespoke interiors for homes, hotels and commercial spaces, with customization and co-creation at the heart of its approach.

Greenapple was founded in 2005, when Rute Martins and Sérgio Rebola teamed up with the idea of employing traditional Portuguese craftsmanship to create beautiful bespoke furniture and decor. Rute Martins, the house’s creative director, designs its signature collection, while Sérgio Rebola oversees quality from design development through production and delivery.

Over time, Greenapple grew to a team of 30 craftspeople working in its own atelier in Portugal, all bringing their individual skills to each new design. A master woodworker, upholsterer and finishing specialist lead the team, with their work also passing down this expertise to the next generation of creators.

Greenapple challenges the uniformity of mass-produced furniture, such as in its playful forms for velvet-upholstered seating and wall mirrors that involve eclectic materials like green onyx, gold leaf and marble. Whether infusing complexity into the structure of a side table or bringing a silhouette of simple elegance to a set of uncomplicated dining chairs, Greenapple incorporates bold concepts and fresh ideas into every piece.

The company has an international clientele, including collectors and leading design firms in Asia, North America and across Europe.
