Meet the Makers
Terrafina Stoneware Castanheira, Cós — Alcobaça, Portugal
Niddy Noddy's ceramics come from Ceramirupe Cerâmicas, a Portuguese stoneware factory founded in 1987 in Castanheira — a small village in the historic parish of Cós, ten kilometres north of Alcobaça. The region has shaped Portuguese ceramics for centuries, and Ceramirupe has spent nearly four decades adding to that tradition.
Everything happens on one site. Administration, the showroom, the R&D centre, product design, the laboratories, production, logistics, and a factory store open to the public — all surrounded by the rural and forested landscape that quietly informs the work. From here, the team produces high-quality stoneware with skilled local craftspeople and modern technology, guided by a long-term commitment to sustainability.
Terrafina Stoneware is Ceramirupe's own brand — built on decades of accumulated know-how and a creative practice rooted in the purity of the raw material. It's proudly Portuguese, and it's the standard we measure the rest of our table by.
Their collections for the table and home are recognised for their detail: in the forms, in the richness of the decorations, in the way each piece holds up to daily use and improves with it.
Casa dos Linhos Porto, Portugal — est. 1860
Niddy Noddy's textiles come from Casa dos Linhos, a Porto institution founded in 1860 and known for generations as one of the city's keepers of Portuguese handcraft. For over a century and a half it has remained close to Mercado do Bolhão, in the heart of the city — a quiet constant in Porto's craft tradition.
The selection is unusual in its breadth. Traditional embroideries from Lixa, Viana do Castelo, Castelo Branco, Madeira and the Azores sit alongside lace, embroidery threads, knitting and Arraiolos wools, linens, raw flax and haberdashery — a quiet inventory of the techniques that have shaped the Portuguese home for over a century.
We work with Casa dos Linhos because few places in Europe still carry this depth of regional handwork under one roof. The linens we offer here are part of that living tradition.
