Kave, a furniture brand belonging to the Julià Grup, has expanded its international presence by opening its first store in Portugal. The store, situated on Avenida Dom Afonso Henriques in Matosinhos, spans 1,110 m². This strategic location in the Porto metropolitan area allows Kave to be closer to its customers. The operation was conducted by the Retail team from Savills in Porto, who represented the property owner, Monteiro & Monteiro.
The store features 759 m² dedicated to exhibition and sales, all on a single floor. The space is organized into various home divisions, including living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, as well as an outdoor furniture area. Additionally, the store has an atelier for advising architects, decorators, and private clients on fabric and color choices, and for customizing pieces for specific projects. The brand also offers nationwide delivery and assembly services.
According to Pedro Maia, Senior Consultant at Savills Portugal, finding the right location and property is crucial for a company's concept and operation. Matosinhos was chosen for its strategic position, which aligns with Kave's business goals. The store's design reflects a Mediterranean inspiration, incorporating materials such as wood, natural fibers, and fabrics. This aesthetic is consistent with Kave's brand identity.
The Matosinhos store is part of Kave's international expansion, following the tradition of furniture and connection to architecture and industry in the region. The store has been open to the public since the end of September. Kave's collections are characterized by a Mediterranean style, with a focus on natural materials. The store also features an area dedicated to the latest collection, Character against neutrality, inspired by Art Déco.
The store will periodically renew its exhibition pieces and host events, presentations, and temporary exhibitions, following the model adopted in other markets where the brand is present. This approach will allow Kave to engage with its customers and maintain a dynamic in-store experience. The brand's commitment to quality and customer service is reflected in its nationwide delivery and assembly services.
The opening of the Matosinhos store demonstrates Kave's confidence in the Portuguese market. With its extensive experience in the furniture industry, Kave aims to establish a strong presence in Portugal. The partnership between Kave and Savills Portugal highlights the importance of collaboration between brands and real estate experts in achieving business goals.
The store's design and layout have been carefully planned to provide an optimal shopping experience. With its Mediterranean-inspired design and focus on natural materials, the store offers a unique and welcoming environment for customers. As Kave continues to expand its international presence, the Matosinhos store serves as a key milestone in its growth strategy.
