Royal Stranger

Sofia Pinho Santos, Co-Founder and Head Designer of Royal Stranger is a Portuguese architect born in Porto, Portugal.

After an internship with architect Carlos Castanheira, she participated in several collaborative projects with the renowned architect Álvaro Siza Vieira and afterwards co-founded an architecture and interior design studio with architect Rui Moreira Santos (Co-Founder of Royal Stranger).

Having interior design projects that have been internationally recognized and having the opportunity to participate in the finals of international interior design competitions, Sofia has had an eye for unique, and beautiful creations from an early age.

Inspired by every delicate detail both in and outside nature and with her head always up in the clouds, Sofia started her path of designing exclusive pieces of furniture when she presented Royal Stranger to the world in September of 2017 at Maison et Object in Paris. And what other city would be more appropriate to do so than the City of Love, Light and Luxury…and Art Deco, of course.
