The World Youth Days will take place between the 1st and the 6th of August 2023, in Lisbon. Given the importance of the event, Fenabel will contribute by producing 8 armchairs, specially conceived for the occasion.
Four of the eight armchairs will be at the service of His Holiness Pope Francis, accompanying him on all his official visits. Your Excellency, the President of the Portuguese Republic, Professor Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa will also have two armchairs at his disposal for the days of the event.
The remaining models will be at Fenabel's care, and one will be donated to the Furniture Museum in Paredes, where it can be appreciated by all who visit it.
These armchairs are being manufactured in solid ash wood with a natural color finish, and the fabrics, together with the other materials used, are based on a sustainable policy. The armchairs on which His Holiness will sit have been embroidered with his coat of arms, as well as the national coat of arms. These models will have an estimated weight of about 28kg per unit and a height of 1.25m.
All the armchairs are being carefully developed by hand, thus giving special attention to detail, an intrinsic characteristic of Fenabel’s products.
“This event will be one of the highlights of the year, if not the most important one in Portugal and Fenabel is delighted to be part of this unique moment" - Mário Leite, CEO
