Established in 2010 in Porto, Portugal, FRATO started life as a high-end jewellery house. It grew organically into a luxury interiors brand, but the jeweller’s eye for detail remains. The result is original and elegant pieces with a focus on heritage shapes and elevated features.
FRATO is a family-run business. From the company name to the bonds made with trades and craftsmen, familial values are at FRATO's heart. The name ‘FRATO’ is a combination of the names of the founder’s two sons, it also stands for ‘fraternity’. Each person involved in the design and manufacturing process becomes an extension of the FRATO family.
