SILENT LANDSCAPE, POSTCARDS FROM PORTUGAL
Inspired by our intrinsic connection and dependence to nature, FORESTA presents SILENT LANDSCAPE, a reflective and contemplative compositions where FORESTA’s vision, slow craft and timeless design dialogue with Casas Caiadas's universe, echoing the serenity of nature and diving into sunny outdoor breakfasts and crystal waters.
Some familiar designs of Foresta's Collection One are embedded in this heaven in the Alentejo Countryside. The wonderful range includes the Copán Table by designer Rebecca Goddard, a small but flexible design that can be used as a stool as well as a table.

A CONSCIOUS APPROACH TO MATERIALS AND CRAFT
FORESTA’s Collection One was born from the brand’s vision to keep traditional methods of forestry and craft alive by supporting environmentally conscious foresters and artisans in Honduras, the small Caribbean country where all FORESTA products are slowly grown and produced. Our designs were first and foremost guided by our appreciation for solid wood, allowing the material to be the focus of the object while the form subtlety supports the function. To support these values of sustainability, the designs in Collection One are deliberately simple so that the timeless beauty of natural wood remains in focus.

SENSITIVE TO THE LAND THAT SUPPLIES OUR TIMBERS AND THE PEOPLE WHO MANUFACTURE OUR DESIGNS
Each design in Collection One was informed by our commitment to natural materials and ethical production, resulting in products infused with subtle nuance and distinctiveness left by the hands of the maker not found in mass production.
Every piece is produced at a small artisan workshop in Honduras with a slow approach that respects the pace of the craftsmen and women FORESTA work with, aiming to challenge industrialized production trends and stressful working environments so that well-being and craft can flourish.

Authentic and Natural
Through these designs, we celebrate the beautiful irregularities given to us by nature, as well as the subtle marks of singularity left by the hands that slowly craft each FORESTA product.
We love all of the aspects that make our products unique — from the forester’s nurturing of the seeds, all the way to the artisan’s last pass of sandpaper.

A Vision Beyond Design
As an ethical and environmentally conscious brand, we lean into this slower, kinder, and more caring way of bringing designs to the market.
Through our collection, we hope to inspire new ways of thinking and spark conversations that put sustainable living, mindful consumerism, slow craft, and the environment in focus.
