Old Way Revival
The connection between artisans and designers may not seem the most obvious, but It can work as a way to promote both fields. Or are the artisans betraying their roots by accepting influences from other creative disciplines?
Reinventing Tradition
In Portugal, marionettes represent an unique cultural heritage, being since the early days the most popular way of social and political criticism. During the last several years, it clearly occurred a mix with other kind of performative arts. Although, some remain faithful to their roots.

Tasty packaging

Thinking solutions
Brainstorming is still an issue that has few certainties around it. The perfect recipe - if there is one - wasn’t found yet, but there is some consensus around an idea: it is, in its nature, a method of generating solutions.

Nowadays, this is our biggest creative challenge. Throughout the years and with the present economical crisis, the idea of creative professional as a ‘lunatic’ vanished, bringing more rationality to the working process. These changes resulted in a new and improved relation with the clients.
Intromission with permission
The creation of on-line communities represents one of the most important points in the relation between clients and companies in our days. The sense of belonging to a group acquires a essential role, in a relation that has to be accepted as a benefit to both sides.
Evolving through work
