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.

Part of the charm and value of our products is in the raw materials that have their own expression and in our handmade finishes which are applied one by one. The result is products that, although reproduced according to a particular design, have unique nuances, so we cannot guarantee that they are exactly the same as the photograph.
We chose these materials because they are natural, they inspired us with their beautiful character, but they require a certain respect for their fragility and the acceptance that they continue to change over time.
For wooden rulers and markers the tone of the wood changes slightly with exposure to sunlight. They can break if they are bent, if they fall to the ground, if they are exposed to the sun for long periods, or if they are transported loosely with other objects.
Regarding the clay art stamp, the glaze and its natural craquelure (small cracks in the glaze) change over time, with variations in humidity. They should be dried immediately after washing. They may break if they fall to the floor.
The rubber of our stamps must be cleaned with products suitable for stamps, or if you are only using water-based inks, you can rinse them with running water and with a soft sponge or toothbrush, and dry immediately, you should never use solvents.
Card-stock and the paper of our cards, notebooks and packaging are sensitive to light, changing the tone slightly. They are not water resistant.
The stamping on the cards is sensitive to and UV light and can fade over time, to better preserve their colors store them in their packaging or protect them in a UV resistant glass frame.
The burel wool is a woven fabric, if it unravels a little you should not pull the thread, but simply trim it close with scissors. To clean both the cork and the burel wool of our bases, you can shake them off or for any stains, even after drying, wipe them gently with a damp cloth. The bases will naturally show wear with ongoing use and cleaning.
