GLOBAL STYLE MEETS FAMILY VALUES

From its beginnings as a high-end jewellery house, over time FRATO organically grew into a luxury interiors label, one that applies the same artisanal approach and jeweller’s eye for detail to each of its exquisite furniture pieces.

Understanding that one size doesn’t necessarily fit all, FRATO also allows for considerable personalisation across its catalogue. Each masterpiece can be customised according to their library of different materials and finishes, while proportions can be precisely altered to suit individual spaces and lifestyles. Whether you’re looking for something unique or designing an entire scheme, FRATO offers complete creative freedom and an intriguing world of possibility.

This level of versatility is part of Frato’s DNA and what truly sets FRATO apart. By combining the knowledge of master craftsmen with ingenious technical innovations at their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Portugal, they retain total control of production, from design to upholstery, carpentry, metalwork and more. This inherent flexibility allows to meet the demands of projects large and small, while always ensuring the superior finish that is synonymous with the FRATO name.
