Internationally acclaimed interior designer Nini Andrade Silva journeyed deep into the heart of the Amazon rainforest to create the inspiring narrative behind the new Amazónia collection, designed exclusively for Monteiro Fabrics.
Her design excellence has been recognized worldwide — most recently with the Savoy Palace Hotel in Madeira, which won the [World Travel Award for Europe’s Leading Luxury Hotel] in 2024, a project that proudly featured Monteiro Fabrics’ coated fabrics.
Rooted in the vital essence of the Amazon, this collection is more than a showcase of exceptional design and aesthetics — it is a pledge to environmental responsibility and ecological awareness.
"I draw inspiration from the landscape, the wind, and the land, delving into history and engaging with locals to uncover the true essence and roots of each place."
Born in Funchal, Madeira, Nini Andrade Silva has elevated the legacy of Portuguese design onto the global stage, earning her place among the most prestigious names in international interior design. Her vision and talent have shaped iconic projects across the world, blending cultural authenticity with timeless sophistication.
By Nini Andrade Silva for Monteiro Fabrics
At Monteiro Fabrics, our four generations of craftsmanship, combined with cutting-edge manufacturing technology, create the perfect synergy for this unique collaboration. Together, we have co-created fabrics that merge design excellence, functional performance, and a deep respect for nature.
Inspired by the Earth’s Beating Heart
The Amazon rainforest — a vital force for our planet — inspired every detail of this collection. Each tone, texture, and finish pays tribute to the vibrant life it shelters: the iridescent feathers of exotic birds, the vivid petals of tropical flowers, the lush green of dense vegetation, and the rich, grounding hues of the forest floor.
This palette captures the Amazon’s rhythm — a harmony of colours and sensations that breathe life into interiors, infusing them with the energy and authenticity of nature’s most diverse ecosystem.
A Celebration of Beauty and Responsibility
The Amazónia collection is more than a range of coated fabrics — it is a creative homage to one of the world’s most extraordinary natural treasures. Inspired by the Amazon rainforest, its designs serve as a gentle reminder of the beauty and richness that nature offers and the importance of preserving it.
Each metre of fabric carries an invitation — to imagine, to be inspired, and to create spaces that celebrate both exceptional design and the wonders that shape our planet.
Celebrate design. Honour what inspires.
This collaboration was born from Nini’s desire to bring the bright and eccentric colours of her experiences and travels into her interior design projects. She found in Monteiro Fabrics — with its innovation and expertise in colour and sustainability — the perfect partner to bring this vision to life.
