Beams, 2006
O projecto da área de estadia na zona envolvente à ponte em ruína da ribeira de Santa Clara-a-Velha baseou-se em duas premissas que regularam a proposta: a verba disponível de 10 mil euros para a sua execução e a escassa mão-de-obra existente no local. A proposta consistiu na encomenda e entrega no local de 5 perfis HEB 400 de 6 metros de comprimento e na sua colocação, com a ajuda de uma grua, em cinco pontos previamente definidos no terreno existente. Três destas vigas tornaram-se bancos e as outras duas permitem o atravessamento para as duas ilhotas e possibilitam a chegada a um ponto no meio da ribeira e a visualização desde nascente de toda a ponte em ruína.
Da memória descritiva do projecto.

Tutti-Frutti
Tutti-Frutti; embalagens de Tetra Pak, dim. Ø280mmX100mm, Ø 200mmX85, Ø160mmX130mm, Designwise.
Os cestos Tutti-Frutti são produzidos a partir da reciclagem de embalagens Tetra Pak. Recorrem a uma técnica tradicional do artesanato algarvio de cestaria em palma. O material é valorizado através de uma linguagem formal simples, sobressaindo uma mancha de cor que caracteriza cada peça, tornando-a única.
Os cestos TUTTI-FRUTTI são produzidos a partir da reutilização de embalagens de leite e sumo em Tetra Pak das quais nos desfazemos diariamente. A técnica utilizada denomina-se “empreita de palma”, uma técnica tradicional do artesanato algarvio. O nome deve-se ao facto de ser um trabalho com o preço ajustado previamente por tarefa, ou seja, à empreitada.
A palma nasce espontaneamente no Algarve e para que possa ser utilizada tem de ser colhida, seleccionada e seca ao ar. A mais grosseira serve para vassouras e pincéis e a de melhor qualidade é metida num banho de enxofre para clarear sendo facultativo tingir. A base do trabalho desta técnica é a trança, realizada com o entretecer das folhas.
A motivação inicial da empreita surgiu com a necessidade de embalar figos, amêndoas e alfarrobas para transportar até aos mercados. Nas últimas décadas, a colheita de palma foi rareando e procuraram-se alternativas mais económicas e acessíveis nos materiais oriundos da produção industrial.
De acordo com os hábitos culturais da empreita, os cestos Tutti-Frutti mantêm a função de contentor de frutos. O seu destino é agora um lugar na nossa casa e o material utilizado relembra-nos a importância da reciclagem como responsabilidade social que diariamente temos para com a humanidade e o planeta.
O material é valorizado através de uma linguagem formal simples, onde a função original de comunicação das superfícies dos pacotes se torna indefinida. Sobressai assim uma mancha de cor que caracteriza cada peça, tornando-a única.

SUMO
So Tyred
Esta peça foi desenvolvida a partir de um conceito de reciclagem. Através de pequenas adaptações, uma câmara-de-ar de pneu de automóvel é transformada numa mala de viagem ou mesmo em bolsa de cintura. Ergonómica, como principais características destaca-se a a grande resistencia, flexibilidade e a propriedade impermeável do material. Bastante robusta, a mala é capaz de comportar pesos sem se danificar ou deformar graças ao comportamento elástico da borracha. O seu aspecto descontraido é ideal para o uso quotidiano em situações menos formais.

DESIGNWISE é uma marca que edita objectos e produtos originais criados por designers portugueses. A colecção da DESIGNWISE nao e especializada, nem dedicada a categorias específicas de objectos. Os seus produtos percorrem várias escalas e universos: de materiais, de usos, de preço.
O que une estes objectos aparentemente tão diversos é o facto de contarem uma historia, muitas vezes com um humor inesperado. Tais historias tanto podem ser imaginadas pelo designer, como re-inventadas pelo próprio utilizador quando transporta o objecto para o seu universo pessoal.

Juice Boobs
Juicy Boobs is an object of desire. Any person should have one. In one piece it holds two squeezers and a tray where the juice gathers. In addition to its sensual contours, the press is manifestly effective in the art of juice extraction. Simply tilt and the juice pours easily into the glass.
Dasein is a project started in 2001 by Hugo Leão, Tiago Fonseca, Samuel Abecasis and Vasco Ferraz, students of Equipment Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon. Since then, Dasein has had as its aim the participation in competitions, incorporating in their projects both a professional and an experimental aspect. In 2004, Dasein (a collective currently made up of communication designer Catarina Pestana and equipment designers Hugo Leão, Samuel Abecasis and Vasco Ferraz) emerges finally as a studio, developing industrial and communication design projects.

Mangas
In-between teapot covers and dolls clothes, the Mangas refer to uses lost to the contemporary adult world. In a playful mood they help to revamp traditional objects through new clothing. The most demanding will also take into consideration their insulation capabilities.
