Our CEO

Carlos Carvalho has been running CRC since 1993. His long career allows him to know his métier quite well. Such knowledge was decisive to build a solid business that has been running for almost 30 years.

“Classic environments, that are by nature more factual and thoughtful, marked the beginning of my career in the 80s with a clear influence from masters such as Lucien Donnat and Pedro Leitão, with whom I collaborated in the remodeling of the Lapa Palace Hotel.

Although this aesthetic heritage is still present in my signature, my decor style is not static. Every moment, there is a reflection on the way I interpret trends and experience new techniques.”

A bit of our history…

The best traditions are those passed down from father to son. From his father, our CEO received the knowledge of the objects and pieces that fill our houses. He learned to upholster sofas and chairs, to work on wood, and to enhance pieces through materials. Over the years, Carlos Carvalho has passed on his vast knowledge to a manufacturing team composed by 15 workers.

“Sensitivity is not something that can be taught, it exists naturally in people and, combined with experience, can be very useful” – CEO Carlos Carvalho

The importance of savoir faire in one of our business areas, the CRC factory, is highlighted daily. Here, we carry out the manufacture of furniture, the restoration of upholstery, the stuffing of chairs and the personalization of curtains. Everything is tailored to the customer and their needs.
