DE LA ESPADA VOLUME IV 59
Palácio do Comércio remains one of the most well-
known buildings in Porto and lives as a shining
example of the best of Portuguese architecture
and craftsmanship. It bears not only the history
of its celebrated architects but the architects
who influenced them, and the architecture firm
that gently ushered the apartments into the 21st
century with the depth of their history firmly
intact. With its celebration of natural, robust
materials and excellence in design and craft, it
is the perfect backdrop for De La Espada furni-
ture, a fitting element in the De La Espada life-
style embracing the local and international, the
historic and modern, the timeless and enduring.
