2011年，BRABBU经过一系列的品牌和设计发展之后，在伦敦Decorex International正式推出。这个品牌从室内设计领域中诞生，有着独特而与众不同的风格，专门为居住及公共空间的室内布置进行全面的配套。品牌的名字由“勇敢”这个词衍生而来，这也正是品牌本身所要传达的：力量、强度和品质。
BRABBU was officially presented at Decorex International in London, September 2011, after a period of brand and design development. The brand was born from the gap we identified in the interior design market, a brand with a unique and different style with an integrated offer, allowing a professional to completely furnish a residential or hospitality space.The brand’s name comes from the word “brave”, which for its sonority and meaning, reflects what we want our pieces to reflect – strength, intensity, and character.
灵感来源
原始的形态和自然地力量。旅行，让我们自己置身于不同的故事和文化中。从过去中学习，尤其是中世纪。过着以四海为家的生活。这所有的一切加起来造就了BRABBU，形成了BRABBU的精神内核。
当BRABBU成立之初，我们就很清楚要去传达的内容。我们不仅仅是简单地设计家具。每一个被设计出来的产品都有一个新的故事可以讲述。BRABBU远超设计作品，你可以获得不同的充满记忆和独特感觉的空间，把空间和个人特质完美地融合在一起，达到一种平衡。我们设计的作品是“感觉”的礼物。BRABBU的生活风格给人一种热情的生活方式，有些人热衷于细节，有些人不停止地到处旅行，永远在寻找新的发现，新的记忆和新的故事。
The raw shapes and fierce forces of nature. Travelling and letting ourselves be surrounded by the diversity of stories and cultures of the world. Admiring and learning from the past, from the mid century era. Living for the cosmopolitan life. These realities all together are what makes BRABBU, thus are BRABBU’s inspiration.
When BRABBU was founded we had a very strong and clear idea of what we wanted to transmit. We couldn’t simply design furniture pieces. Every single piece that we design, has a new story to tell. With BRABBU you will get more than a design piece, you will get a diversity of spaces fulfilled with memories and unique sensations in perfect harmony with your spaces and your personality. We design our pieces to be a gift for the senses. Therefore, someone with BRABBU’s lifestyle will be someone with a very intense way of living, someone that enjoys details, someone with this cosmopolitan living which never stops, almost always on the run for new discoveries, new memories and new stories to live and recall.
设计过程
首先将设计想法在纸上呈现出来，经常是在每周的设计会议上实行，那里有一张很大的桌子，摆满材料，图纸，涂料以及各种布料。然后是用软件设计出产品的视觉效果，如果符合品牌的理念，其他一切都没有问题，就把这个产品带到现实中来。
First we start by reflecting our inspiration on the paper drafts, usually on our weekly design sessions, wher we have this huge table full of materials, drawings, finishes, fabrics. Then it is time to design the product on the adequate software program, if its according the brand’s standards and everything it’s all right we prototype it, and it comes to life.
材质颜色
黄铜，是一个现在非常流行的材质。而且它可以广泛运用。大理石，是一种给人宏伟之感的材料，传统的葡萄牙岩石。最后还有天鹅绒，这种优雅柔软的材料永远是软垫部分的组成之一。
所使用的材料，最开始用与地球和自然中比较常见的色彩，比如绿色和蓝色，后来为了使色彩更加丰富，加入了一些更加强烈和鲜艳的颜色。
Brass, which is a very trendy material right now. And it is also very versatile. Also Marble, which is an imposing and respectful material. And it is also a traditional Portuguese rock. Last, but definitely not the least, velvet, an elegant and soft material that will always be incorporated in our upholstery pieces.
In what concern colors, from the beginning that we use colors more related to the earth and nature itself, like green or blue, but in order to expand our range of colors and to bring more intensity to the pieces we have started using more strong and vibrant colors.
设计与工艺
BRABBU的成功之一就是把设计和工艺紧密结合。每一件产品都是独特的，因为设计师和工艺之间的联系是那么地紧密。两个之间共同合作以达成更高的成果。他们共同分享理念和技术，提升产品的整体质量并统一到整个系列中。此外，BRABBU认为没有了设计师的创意和工匠的智慧和经验，是没有办法发展产品的。
One of the main reasons for BRABBU’s success is in fact this relationship. Every piece conceived by BRABBU is unique because there is this close relation between our designers and workmanship. Designers and craftsman work together to get the best out of each piece. They share ideas and techniques in order to raise masterpieces that will be integrated in the collection. Furthermore, we believe that is impossible to develop a product without the creativity of one designer and the wisdom and experience of an artisan.
