The De La Espada Albireo Sofa is a sculptural seating system defined by its graceful curves, tall backrest, and modular flexibility. Designed by Anthony Guerrée and inspired by a recurring dream of stargazing in Joshua Tree, the sofa takes its name from Albireo, a double star in the constellation Cygnus. With its upholstered form resting on refined Danish Oiled Walnut feet and paired with Elle 220 fabric, Albireo combines celestial elegance with grounded craftsmanship.

Built around just six essential modules, the Albireo Sofa offers a wide range of configurations, from intimate corners to expansive lounge settings, all with a sense of fluidity and cohesion. The gently contoured seat and high backrest envelop the sitter, creating a feeling of retreat and comfort.

Crafted at De La Espada’s solar-powered factory in Portugal, Albireo reflects the brand’s dedication to sustainable materials and lasting quality. The solid walnut base, finished by hand with non-toxic Danish oil, reveals the wood’s rich tone and unique grain. Upholstered in Elle 220, a premium textile from a leading Danish mill, the sofa combines softness and strength, offering a refined tactile experience to match its visual calm. Albireo is more than a sofa, it’s a landscape for rest, reflection, and elegant living.
Danish Oiled Walnut for Lasting Beauty

Sourced from the midwestern United States, American black walnut is revered for its strength and rich, expressive grain. Each piece offers unique colour variation, from deep chocolate tones to lighter blond sapwood. Finished with Danish oil, the timber’s natural beauty is enhanced while maintaining a surface that can be renewed over time.

Elle 220

Elle 220 is a softly curled bouclé upholstery with a gentle sheen and a warm beige-cream tone. Its richly layered yarns create subtle shifts in colour and texture, offering visual depth and inviting tactility. Designed for everyday living, it combines plush comfort with impressive durability

From Forest to Finish

Produced in De La Espada’s solar-powered workshop near Portugal’s Silver Coast, each piece is crafted by independent master artisans. Combining modern precision with traditional handwork, the process is tailored to bring out the finest qualities of every material used.

Intricate Joinery for Lasting Integrity

Rather than opting for simplified construction, De La Espada products are composed of multiple precisely crafted components. This intricate joinery allows for optimal timber grain direction, refined shaping, and durable long grain-to-long grain bonds—resulting in furniture with unmatched depth, strength, and detail.
