INTRODUCTION

WHO IS DOURO41?

Douro41 Hotel & Spa (Castelo de Paiva) is a luxury 5-start establishment in Portugal’s beautiful Douro Valley. The hotel offers an original minimalist and elegant style with 55 rooms and six suites, allowing plenty of natural light and panoramic views. A stunning infinity pool overlooks the Douro River, blending seamlessly with the natural landscape. Douro41 is the perfect place for guests seeking a restful and relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting.

Castelo de Paiva experiences varying weather conditions throughout the year and, therefore, requires furniture that can withstand the elements whilst retaining an elegant and luxurious appearance. We found the solution by combining a modern and durable collection with a sophisticated and functional product.

OBJECTIVE:

To furnish outdoor and indoor spaces with durable, stylish and functional furniture.

CHALLENGES

WEATHERING THE ELEMENTS

How do we create furniture that can withstand ever-changing weather conditions while maintaining its aesthetic appeal?

MEETING AESTHETIC STANDARDS

Which collection provides functionality and coordinates best with the hotel’s existing interior/exterior decor?

SOLUTION

NEWPORT COLLECTION

The Newport Collection is a timeless classic with a contemporary twist in that it combines an intriguing mix of materials. Newport’s woven straps, teak legs and plush cushioning create a comforting and stylish feel that is ideal for a hotel. The option to customise the colours and finishes mean we could tailor the collection to the hotel’s colour scheme.

EASY-FIT SIDE TABLES

The practical and playful Easy-Fit side tables are the perfect finishing touch to an outdoor space. They come in many shapes and sizes, and we chose these to complement the Newport Collection. The sturdy frames, complete with a triple powder coating and quick-dry system, can cope with years of outdoor exposure without losing quality and finish.

CONCLUSION

RESULTS

The Newport Collection has added a touch of luxury and sophistication to the hotel, and guests and staff praised the new furniture for its design and durability. Our collaboration with Douro 41 Hotel & Spa has been a resounding success. The Newport Collection and Easy-Fit side tables have exceeded design, functionality, and durability expectations.
