About

A family company,

Founded in 2021 in Batalha — one of Europe's great crossroads for timber — INTARXCELL combines the soul of a family business with the rigour of an exceptional design studio. From visual design to final installation, our chain is 100% integrated. No middlemen, no loss of information: the piece installed in your home is the exact reflection of the drawing we approved together.

From dressing rooms of the highest pedigree to private mansions, from the contemporary villa to prestige furniture, we bring the same devotion to every joint.

High technology in the service of the hand.

Our 1,000 m²-plus manufacture brings together fine cabinetmaking and cutting-edge engineering. Equipped with the latest-generation CNC machining centres and powered by our own solar energy, it masters every stage of production — from cutting over 500 selected species to final assembly. A virtuous alliance of technical performance, environmental responsibility and artisanal standards.

The art of finishing, without compromise.

Because Portugal's light demands perfection, our finishing laboratory ensures absolute mastery of textures and tones. Deep lacquers, protective varnishes or bespoke patinas: our master painters watch over the accuracy of every shade, ensuring perfect consistency from the colour chart to the final coat.

THREE CHOICES, ONE UNIQUE PROJECT

Every piece is drawn for you. Choose the style, the wood and finish, then the configuration that fits your space — we design and build the rest.

The workshop

Where it all

Our Batalha production unit combines CNC machines with traditional cabinetmaking craft. It is this dual culture — industrial precision, artisanal sensibility — that lets us produce fast, well and bespoke.

A video tour of the workshop: cutting, veneering, assembly, finishing.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work outside Portugal?

Yes. Our workshop is in Batalha, but we work across Portugal, France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland, as well as neighbouring countries assessed case by case. Logistics and installation are handled by our own teams, never subcontracted.

What languages can we contact you in?

Portuguese, French and English as a minimum. Project follow-up is conducted in your language to avoid any misunderstanding — one reason this site exists in twelve languages.

What are your lead times?

On average, around three months of production after the plans are approved, depending on the scale and complexity of the project. We set a precise schedule from the outset and keep you informed at every stage.

How are your prices positioned?

We deliver high-end execution at prices noticeably below the French market, thanks to our economies of scale. As every project is bespoke, we issue a detailed, transparent quote once we have assessed your needs.

How does a project unfold?

In four stages: on-site audit and needs analysis, design with plans and visuals, fabrication in our workshop, then installation. We involve you at the key validation points; the rest we handle, with a single point of contact from start to finish.

Do you work for both individuals and businesses?

Yes. We work with both private clients (kitchens, dressing rooms, bathrooms, staircases) and professionals — architects, interior designers, retailers, developers and public bodies. The same integrated chain, from design to installation, whatever the scale of the project.

What woods and materials do you offer?

Over 500 wood species, selected from responsible sources, from oak to walnut to exotic timbers. We also work with companion materials — sintered stone, powder-coated steel, glass, lacquer — for complete, coherent ensembles. Our timber comes from specialist Portuguese partners, including FSC®-certified suppliers, ensuring responsible forest management.

What finishes and colours are possible?

Any. Our modern spray booth lets us master lacquers, varnishes and patinas under perfectly controlled conditions. Several specialist painters tune each shade to your project, from swatch to final coat.

Do you work from an architect's or designer's plans?

Absolutely. We work regularly with architects, interior designers and project managers: we start from their plans, bring our technical expertise on joinery and materials, then fabricate and install. A single point of contact for the entire joinery scope.

Do you provide plans and visuals before manufacturing begins?

Yes. Before anything starts, we present detailed plans and visualisations of your project. Nothing is made until you have approved the design — what we design with you is exactly what we install in your home.

Can you work on an active site or occupied premises?

Yes, often — shops, restaurants, building lobbies, occupied homes. We adapt our scheduling to limit disruption and, when needed, work in phases to keep closures or downtime to a minimum.

What guarantee do you offer?

To underpin our promise of durability, INTARXCELL backs its creations with an exclusive 10-year commercial guarantee. This voluntary guarantee far exceeds the legal obligations (set in Portugal at 3 years for movable goods and 5 years for non-structural built-in work). It covers manufacturing and structural defects, reflecting our confidence in the nobility of our woods and the rigour of our joinery. .

Do you provide after-sales service?

Yes. Because we design, build and fit everything ourselves, we know each piece and can step in quickly: adjustment, finish touch-up, replacement of a component. One point of contact, before and after fitting.

How do payment and deposits work?

Payment is made in three instalments: a 50% deposit at order to start the design and engineering; 30% at the start of production; and the remaining 20% before delivery and installation. The amounts and schedule are set out clearly on your quote.
