Our story

We are a group of adventurers and explorers, tired of the current trend of mass production where things come faster and cheaper, and we don't know how it's made or who it's made by.

The Origin Story

Far & Away began in 2019 with a trip. Albert and his co-founder Jacky set out across the Portuguese countryside to find the people who made the tableware they loved.

Today it's a family business. Albert, his wife and their daughter test every piece at their own table, from messy weeknight dinners to long Sunday lunches.
