> Arte e engenho, desde 2002.

Da ideia à acção e desta ao produto final, é longa e árdua jornada a quatro mãos. 

Criamos e produzimos peças contemporâneas com mensagem. Devotadamente, seriamente, exclusivamente, arriscadamente, rigorosamente e - porque não dizê-lo? -, perfeitamente. Peças que contam histórias pessoais ou universais, tristes ou alegres, com horror ao efeito fácil, ao déjá vu, ao brilho vão.

Denominador comum é quase sempre a cerâmica e a busca do casamento feliz entre a tradição e a inovação.

> Art and skill, since 2002.

From the idea to action and from this to the final product is a long and arduous journey for four hands.

We create and produce contemporary pieces with message. Devoutly, seriously, exclusively, dangerously, carefully and – why not say it? - perfectly. Pieces that tell universal or personal stories, sad or happy ones, with horror by the easy effect, the déjá vu or the vain brightness.

Common denominator is almost always the ceramic and the pursuit of happy marriage between tradition and innovation.
