JOHN ARAUJO / THE DESIGN PERSPECTIVEJOHN ARAUJO × ELBRA
One shared vision.
Two ways of creating.
A collaboration between John Araujo’s design perspective and ELBRA’s furniture craftsmanship.
The room and the pieces within it are considered together. John brings the design perspective; ELBRA brings furniture made to order, handmade in Portugal, and a library of materials and finishes.
This shared studio follows that conversation from a drawing to a material sample, a piece of furniture and a place to live.

ELBRA / FURNITURE & INTERIORSThe craft behind
the room.
ELBRA is the furniture house behind this collaboration. Its pieces are made to order and handmade in Portugal, with materials and finishes selected for each space.
ELBRA Design Studio is the house’s interior design service. With John Araujo, that expertise becomes a shared exploration of rooms, furniture and the way we live with them.
