We search for materials that are authentic, natural, local and sustainable, that have stories to tell that guide us.
We collect patterns from our Algarve heritage that inspire us and inspire us to share.
We design every piece with a function to enrich the daily life with beauty and utility.
In 2016 we founded our workshop in the Algarve to explore sustainable materials and techniques. Every detail of our designs is a tribute to the rural heritage that surrounds us, and every piece we make is our way of sharing it.
Since the Middle Ages, burel wool has been produced in Serra da Estrela in central Portugal using wool from the local Bordaleira sheep. These sheep were raised for their milk which was used to produce the tasty Serra da Estrela cheese. Because this wool was not soft enough for knitting, it was woven into burel fabric, and traditionally used for making the shepherds’ capes.
The compacte, dyed and cut burel wool reminds us of the adornments found on the facades of houses in the Algarve. It is as if we peeled the relief from the house, but instead of lime and sand, it was light, flexible, resistant and insulating. Sure, it’s burel!
