“The details are not the details. They make the design.”Charles Eames. This phrase sums up the whole essence of Vertik. The sharply geometric shapes associated with noble materials gives it an unapologetically executive identity. It is easily perceptible the concern in creating a design object not forgetting the utilitarian aspect, as well as the search for comfort allied to ergonomics. Notoriously the goal of creating Vertik has passed by the will to turn an everyday object into a luxury design piece.

Sotubo Móveis Metálicos, S.A.
The history of a company is the history and the memory of the people who created it and of those who were and still being a part of it. In 1980, Artur Pedro Ferreira realized there was a void in the market for the manufacturing of furniture for the hotel and restaurant industries. It soon became clear that this was a solid investment. The already skilled and dynamic team quickly managed to broaden the company’s field of activity to alternative markets, aside from those of the initial corporate objectives, and so the production of office furniture began. Since the late 1990s that, with the help of a network of agents, the company is present in the entire country and, in the beginning of this century, it successfully entered the markets of France, Spain, Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde.
