Mofreita

What Mofreita does

Mofreita (legal entity Carpintaria Mofreita Lda) is a Portuguese bespoke carpentry and joinery workshop founded in 1980 and headquartered in Macedo de Cavaleiros, Portugal, with a 10-person team. The company produces custom-made wood furniture and interior fit-out — kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living/dining rooms, entrance halls, offices, and outdoor spaces — working in wood species including Ash (Freixo), Oak, Cork Oak (Sobreiro), Pine, Teak, Macassar Ebony, and Poplar, often combined with metal, lacquered MDF, and Corian. Its core technology is skilled manual craftsmanship supported by the REVIVE sustainable wood recovery program, which reclaims native Trás-os-Montes timber from fallen trees, agricultural interventions, public works, and dismantled constructions, and a solidarity offshoot, Excedentes Criativos, which converts wood surplus into finished decorative objects.

The business operates three revenue streams: (1) quote-based custom project sales executed for architects, interior designers, and private clients (high-end residential and boutique hospitality), often international — France, UK, Switzerland, Algeria, and the UAE; (2) e-commerce sales of finished furniture and decorative panels to end consumers at fixed prices ranging from approximately €280 to €5,215+, with most SKUs in the €1,600–€4,620 range; and (3) REVIVE sales spanning finished pieces and raw recovered wood. Go-to-market is sales-led with designer/specifier relationships as the primary channel, augmented by participation in international trade events (Dubai WoodShow 2026 via AIMMP) and an e-commerce storefront. The flagship commercial asset is a 15-year co-development partnership with French interior designer Yannick Lassalle, supplemented by a broader designer network (IH Studio, Metropole Concept, Pascale Dixon, SZ Interiors, Nildo José). Mofreita holds FSC and IQNet certifications, plus PME Líder, COTEC, and Norte2020 recognition, reinforcing its sustainability and SME excellence positioning.
