The Brand

We were in the year of 2009, when at Albino Miranda, Lda. the idea of creating a brand that represented the company in the international market start gaining its form. Using an innovative and new material, resin reinforced with fiberglass, allied with the unique artistic techniques that describes Albino Miranda as a highly skilled artisan, KARPA was born.

This brand was conceived for Interior and Exterior environments, taking the organic shapes, textures and colors of Nature has its main inspirations.

KARPA's pieces are passionately handcrafted by the Artist Albino Miranda, who has more than 30 years of sculpting experience, and a team of 35 highly responsible and dedicated professionals make sure every single product comes out perfect.

Working side by side with interior decorators and designers, allows KARPA to constantly improve its Catalogue, becoming even more authentic brand and transposing in each new project the barriers of the ordinary, ending up with Creative and Unique spaces that disassociate themselves from the others, not only for their artistic touch but also for our highend materials and finishes.

As part of KARPA growth, the participation on international tradeshows was mandatory, with regular presences at Maison et Objet each year and some other tradeshows occasionally such as ICFF, Salone del Mobile, Portugal Home Week or Homeing. As a result of the participation on those tradeshows, KARPA now exports to all over Europe, USA, Middle East and even Australia.

KARPA has become a “must-add” brand to the most luxurious hotels in the world such as the Hotel Savoy Palace in Portugal, Cavo Tagoo Mykonos in Greece or the Renaissance Paris Hippodrome de St Cloud in France.
Recently, with the goal of suppress the lack of presence in the Asian continent, KARPA opened a new showroom in the city of Shenzhen, China. This achievement stands out as a remarkable step towards its internationalization and we can guarantee you that we won’t stop.
