the birth of a human being is one of
the most magical elements of our ex-
istence, which we only fully appreciate
when it enters in our own lives.
WoMb is one of the reproductive
organs that allows the miracle of life.
During pregnancy it expands so that
the fetus grows in its interior, ending
this process with the parents with the
child on their arms.
this brand has in its Dna the creation
process using only the best materials
and practices, all with the know-how
that results from the joint venture of
two companies with decades of expe-
rience, which one with its own facil-
ity. this allows the total control of the
creation process from the embryo to
the final result.
WoMb is the result of a two company
merger. a furniture company and up-
holstery, both with its own production
unit, whose partners wanted to create
a brand that combines, design, brand-
ing with highest standards of quality in
all phases of the process.
this joint venture allows the clash
between second and third generation
craftsman’s, with young designers and
marketers. this results in a daily chal-
lenge and learning for both genera-
tions, and in many ways is an impor-
tant life experience.
the most prominent Portuguese de-
signers, as well as, established ones,
are invited to work with WoMb´s
team, allowing the creation of a di-
verse family.
WoMb intends to create pieces with
a bold design and to set trends where
the only limit is the viability of the high
standards of quality.
the pieces intend to generate new ex-
periences to the users, as well as the
ability to travel without moving.

young talented Portuguese designer,
Pedro had is academic training in in-
dustrial Design at the Porto fine arts
university. he has been focused in
concept, interior, thinking industrial
and product design. truly, his forma-
tion started at the age of four when his
dad, an arts enthusiast, showed him on
a daily bases a wide range of express-
ing artistically. since then, he has been
expressing itself in several forms such
as: drawing, painting and visual krafts.
in the last couple of years his work has
been presented in the most important
exhibits in the world. For the first time
he took a leading role and we know
that “the beginning of everything” will
be a major step forward in his career.

the beginning of everything is signed by the Por-
tuguese Designer Pedro teixeira. it was inspired in
some of the most amazing natural phenomena, where
some find explanation in science and others are linked
with traditions and local myths. they all have in com-
mon the ability to mesmerize us!
this journey takes us to some of the most beautiful
and unique places on earth. it has purpose to allow us
to travel... without moving.
T H E B E G I N N I N G O F E V E R Y T H I N G“i was truly inspired by the forms, colors, textures of
this wonderful places and it is reflected on the design,
materials I have chosen and the finishing of the pieces.
it has also been a force to deal with conceptually, due
to the huge impact that it had on me.
Looking back it was an important personal journey.”

the kaieteur waterfalls are huge in every metric that
we choose to use, although it was its curves that had
an influence on how Pedro designed this dinning chair.
the silhouette of the waterfall was the base for the
silhouette of the piece. also the curling of the water
was the starting point for the seams on the leather.

sands of years of sea erosion. Depending on the tide
sea currents we may see an amazing phenomena,
where the sea enters the hole and it´s almost imme-
diately expelled.
the visual effect is similar to the one that we can im-
agine by watching the structure of this piece.

Dracaena cinnabari also known as socotra Dragon
tree, is native to the socotra archipelago in the in-
dian ocean. the structure of the branches generat-
ed almost immediately inspiration for the designer,
specifically on how to create the crown in the back
of this armchair.
the strong curves on the upholstery came later when
he started to research more about this unique trees
and their location.

ond monolith in the world with more
than 300 meters of height and about
8km of area.
the colors changes in a remarkable
way throughout the day due to the
effects of the light on the surface of
the monolith. rust of oxidation is one
of the most powerful colors, and this
sideboard use them. also, the shapes
of uluru have had a clear inspiration in
this mountain.

in east java indonesia, the kawah ijen volcano is re-
sponsible for a unique phenomenon of nature, the
colors of the lava at night turns into an electric navy
blue. The scenario is similar to a science fiction movie,
along with the lava comes a nebula that seems to be
from another planet. it´s the result of sulphur that
pours out of the volcano.
in this piece both the colors and the way the lava fol-
lows down the hill inspired the design and the finishing.

the forest of the enchanted tales? if it exists it is in
Poland! Where the pine trees, without a clear expla-
nation, grow with a unique and almost mystical shape
that inspired the design of this cabinet. there have
been a lot of speculation on how and why this phe-
nomena happens, and that´s a part of the magic.
the exterior brass structure of the cabinet was based
in the irregular shape of the pin trees.

Our
team
We all came from very different back-
grounds and share in common the fact
that in kids (except Pedro), we never
thought that we end up here. today
we share the fact that we are very pas-
sionate about what we do.
WoMb, has already a special place in
our hearts now that it is ready to be
presented. We firmly believe that this
is a new approach, all done with a lot
of care.
the beginning of everything sets a
milestone because has we launch the
collection, we also launch the brand.
although, this journey started a long
time ago and it is the result of more
than year of work, with professionals
with decades of experience that fortu-
nately work in both our factories.
