Interior designers from across the globe are invited to Porto to celebrate design and the artistry of craftsmanship with Covet Group. The showroom features some of our most celebrated designs and will continually update its collection each season. Visitors will also have the chance to explore the production facilities and meet our talented craftsmen while learning about the latest advancements in production capabilities. And since the event takes place in one of Europe’s most picturesque locations, Porto, guests can also take the opportunity to discover the historic city center with its stunning bridges, architecture, and renowned port wine. The iconic Kris Turnbull from Kris Turnbull Studios paid us a visit, and we’re thrilled to share everything he had to say!
In the world of interior design, few names carry the same level of prestige and admiration as Kris Turnbull. Renowned for his extraordinary talent in blending timeless elegance with cutting-edge design concepts, Turnbull has established a unique space for himself within the industry. His work serves as a testament to the power of creativity and the ability to transform spaces into captivating, functional works of art.
“I was thrilled to see the growth and progress of the brand. Five years ago, when I was last here, I was with the factories, and this showroom didn’t even exist. So having this new headquarters is fantastic for your team to work in, but it’s also a much richer experience for designers who want to use your products and truly understand the materials, finishes, and processes involved. For me, it’s not just about appreciating the final product but also understanding the journey your artisans have taken with it, and educating my team on the production side of things.†– Kris Turnbull
“We’re actually going to visit the upholstery production next, because that’s another incredible skill. To see the woodwork and veneering on the Luray Side Table or the liquid metal on the Cay Console—it’s something amazing to be part of and understand that process. It helps you communicate better with clients and educate them on the perceived value of the product, not just how it looks. That part has been incredibly helpful for us.†– Kris Turnbull
“Design awareness in Ireland has grown significantly, allowing us to introduce bolder pieces. For example, Boca do Lobo designs that might have seemed a bit daring five years ago are now seen as curious and fascinating. The mix of classic and contemporary styles is perfectly current. From a brand perspective, it’s exciting that people aren’t afraid of prints or color anymore. A few years ago, everything was very neutral, but now it’s becoming less gray and more diverse, which strengthens the relationship with using your products.†– Kris Turnbull

“I absolutely love Portugal. I have so many wonderful friends there. Porto is historically breathtaking. Being by the river is magical. I adore Douro wine; we enjoy it in Ireland too. Many of my friends have explored the Douro Valley or the old parts of Portugal like Porto. And I love Ribeira, where you can enjoy cocktails, music, and festivities. Definitely, it’s a place worth visiting.†– Kris Turnbull
