Attica Studios was founded by Ricardo Miranda and Joana Maia and inspired by their admiration for antique furniture and architecture. They believe timeless beauty comes from exceptional craftsmanship, refined talent, and the unique character of natural materials, seamlessly incorporated with technology and innovation.
Today, Attica Studios creates their pieces in a UK-based workshop, divided into two studios with a team of experienced artisans.
The Design & Making Studio focuses on permanent collections and bespoke pieces. Known for their distinctive features and exquisite construction, each piece is created to become an heirloom from carefully selected solid natural materials, emphasizing unique patterns and the human touch in craftsmanship.
The Restoration Studio sources and restores antiques embodying the company's philosophy. They retain the value and charm of each piece while integrating them into modern interior designs and reinstating functionality. This studio also supports their lifetime buyback program, promoting circularity and enduring appreciation of their art, ensuring every piece they create can be infinitely repaired and will always have value.
