Our Story
House of Almeida was founded by Catarina Almeida in 2016.
She decided to build a home goods studio around the philosophy of reviving bygone interior fashions after rescuing a discarded dresser from the side of the road.
Our product offering currently consists of bespoke up-cycled furnishings, abstract art pieces, reupholstered commissions and restorations. Our aesthetic is whimsical, textural, and ever-changing. Inspiration comes from everywhere; perhaps a season change, a feeling, or a memory can spark a new idea for a piece.
Her newest and most preferred collection materialized from what some refer to as a lost art (a medley of discarded reading materials such as magazines and paperback books) that she distorts into her own image of beauty.
