With its graceful silhouette and tactile luxury, the De La Espada Saia Lounge Chair brings sculptural elegance and inviting warmth to any setting. Designed for those who seek both refinement and comfort, Saia is a study in proportion and poise. The Danish Oiled Walnut base grounds the chair with natural richness, while the Mohawi sheepskin upholstery introduces an irresistibly soft and textured layer, perfect for slow moments in a reading corner or as a centrepiece in a thoughtfully curated lounge.

Saia, meaning "skirt" in Portuguese, refers to the chair’s gently flared form, which wraps around the body like a tailored garment. The unique two-part upholstery design enhances visual lightness and offers the flexibility to mix or match materials, while also contributing to the chair’s seamless ergonomics. Whether placed in a home, hotel, or gallery space, its balanced proportions and refined detailing make it a versatile choice for a range of interiors.

Handcrafted in De La Espada’s solar-powered factory in Portugal, the Saia Lounge Chair is built for lasting beauty and performance. Sustainably sourced solid wood forms the base, with natural grain variations ensuring that no two pieces are alike. Traditional joinery techniques reinforce its strength, and all finishes are non-toxic and applied by hand. Upholstery is sourced from leading textile partners across Europe, with the sumptuous sheepskin offering both comfort and a distinctive, organic texture.
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.

Curly Mohawi Sheepskin

This premium sheepskin upholstery offers a soft, tactile experience, with curled wool measuring between 12mm and 17mm in height. Its rich visual depth comes from the interplay of lighter tips and a darker base, while the natural variation in each hide ensures every chair is truly one of a kind.

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.
