THE TRINITY
The mother, the daughter and the spark. These three are the engines behind HMD.
Welcome to HMD Furniture. Established in 1991 by the visionary Graça Cardoso da Silva, our journey began with a passion for quality craftsmanship and good design. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a dedication to excellence, Graça laid the foundation for what would become the beloved family business. Her team-leading experience in building and transforming a huge new business model in one of the biggest retail companies in the country, earned her a clear strategy focused vision that has brought HMD to where it is today.
Building upon her mother's legacy, Mónica, after graduating in Design from Barcelona, infused her creativity and expertise into our brand. As our head designer, Mónica shapes the identity of HMD Furniture, curating collections that blend sophistication with practicality and developing the voice and brand of HMD Furniture.
[Since a little child, Monica brought her paper and pencil everywhere, her practice has led her to understand what she wanted to do in the future. In parallel, she rejoiced when spending hours in the middle of wood dust and talking with carpenters and architects building products and spaces alike. In her teenage years, she fell in love with Graphic Design and went to Barcelona to follow this creative energy. There she developed a very personal style between the warm color and the life of the city, the love for illustrations and typography drifted her apart from furniture for a while.
She left Barcelona to build a name for herself in the marketing and advertising field and, after a few years as a brilliant marketeer, she finally returned to the family tradition of furniture design and craft.
Now, the whole company has Monica’s view and talent on it. Every visual detail is supervised and approved by her and the brand showcases clearly what is on her mind.]
Like any winning team, we needed a constant reminder of the dynamic edge of the market therefore, Nina, coming from an economic background, joined the team to develop new strategies in the realms of commerce, finance, and business operations.
Together, we strive to bring our customers solutions for their projects that are aligned with their taste and philosophy when creating interior spaces.
