With a consolidated footprint in over 30 countries, Portugal’s oldest manufacturer of metal furniture is betting on design innovation and new table ranges to boost its international competitiveness across the luxury hospitality, catering, and residential markets.
ADICO, a centennial benchmark and undisputed leader in Portugal’s outdoor metallic furniture industry, has taken another step in consolidating its internationalisation strategy with the introduction of four new table lines to its Outdoor Collection: ALVA, MAR, NORMA, and PLANA. The launch aims to reinforce the Portuguese brand's offering within the contract and residential channels across key export markets, including Spain, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, South Korea, and the US.
Designed by renowned Portuguese designers André Pinto (ALVA, MAR, and NORMA lines) and Pedro Sottomayor (PLANA line), these new additions explore distinct shapes, proportions, and dimensions. Engineered from the ground up to meet the contemporary demands of large-scale international hospitality, catering, and high-end residential projects, the collections stand out for their exceptional versatility in configurations and finishes. Alongside the brand’s signature metallic frame, the inclusion of wooden tabletops brings a warmer, more natural material expression to the range.
This focus on signature design and manufacturing agility reflects ADICO’s strategic vision to expand its global market share. By bridging over a century of industrial heritage and technical expertise with contemporary aesthetics, the Avanca-based (Estarreja) company enhances its ability to serve leading global specifiers, architects, and interior design practices.
Founded in 1920 by Adelino Dias Costa, the creator of the iconic Portuguese Chair — now a global ambassador for Portuguese design — the family-owned business continues to solidify its reputation abroad. With this expanded outdoor portfolio, ADICO projects sustained growth in its export footprint, showcasing the true value of Made in Portugal craftsmanship, innovation, and quality on the world design stage.
