A brand with Portuguese soul

Since 2015, Bright Kitchen has brought the excellence of "Made in Portugal" cutlery to thousands of kitchens around the world — from Portugal to Sweden, Germany, Australia, China, Canada, the United States, the United Arab Emirates and many other countries. But the brand's story began much earlier: with family roots and over 100 years of experience in cutlery, kitchen tools and elegant tableware. The vision of founder Idalina Pereira came from a practical need — and evolved into an online store of reference for those seeking design, quality and a smart way to build a flatware set, piece by piece.

Before Bright Kitchen — The legacy that shaped us

The founder grew up surrounded by cutlery, stainless steel and workshop conversations. Her family was deeply involved in the Portuguese cutlery industry for generations, cultivating a deep technical and aesthetic knowledge. Over time, the passion for these table objects turned into a mission: to value the heritage and make it accessible to everyone.

2015 — The birth of a different kind of store

The drive to create Bright Kitchen came from a personal frustration: it was almost impossible to buy individual cutlery pieces, replace lost items or build a flatware set gradually. Idalina decided to launch a project with a unique approach — selling online, with carefully curated products, transparent pricing and strong ties to Portuguese manufacturers.

From the very first sketches to the launch of the Shopify store, the project was shaped not only by her vision, but also with the technical guidance and friendship of João Ramos, who played a key role in translating that dream into an online experience.
