Attitude 95: Manifesto

Being especially proud of bringing you an edition that entirely focuses on Portuguese projects, Manifesto is intended as a statement (and as strident a one as possible) of our national talent. In fact, this has been our commitment since the very first edition, except that this time we wanted to take it even further by honouring it from the first to the last page.

From an intrepid generation of creatives that excels in manifold areas (People section), to places that have enthralled us (Places); from pieces that have grabbed our attention (Products) to eclectic interiors that transport us to different worldviews (Interiors); without neglecting musical (Sounds) and gastronomic (Mood) influences, you'll realise how wide-ranging and multidisciplinary our curatorship has endeavoured to be.

The urge to revisit our historical heritage has also led us to the fascinating Portalegre Tapestry Museum and to the iconic Viúva Lamego factory, to be discovered on pages 90 and 108 respectively. In our architecture section, we take a close look at the work of José Adrião Arquitetos (page 92) and atelier RUA (page 100).

And so, we invite you to rediscover and revalue this Lusitanian identity in our company. An identity that reinvents itself every day. And it's invariably based on handcrafted production, tradition, know-how, innovation, quality and authenticity.

To share with you what we are most passionate about, the fruit of that pulsating energy coming from the most varied quarters, has always been part of our manifest.
