Within the scope of the Made In Platform<\/strong> for Crafts and Contemporary Design<\/strong>, Passa ao Futuro organized a series of individual residencies between Designers and Basket Weavers where Designers were challenged to create new contemporary pieces using the traditional techniques of artisans in an innovative way. Two of them took place in Loul\u00e9 between April and August 2024.<\/strong> <\/p>

After an immersion in art, raw material, complete process (when in the right season, the residency begins with the harvest of the raw material), constraints and possibilities, the Designer thought of some options that were later discussed with the artisan. Together, they decided which options to test and develop. Each residence resulted in a collection of 3 pieces. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“\u00d3 la ri Loul\u00e9, \u00f3 la ri Loul\u00e9” is a collection of bags created in the south of Portugal, where nature vibrates and time passes slowly. Inspired by the traditional elliptical or round shapes used in the palm empreita, this collection starts from the simple gesture of folding them in half, creating a space to carry or store objects. The results are: a pouch, a ‘bag’ with handles and a magazine or newspaper holder for the home. <\/p>

Playful elements were also introduced, not only through embroidery, which was formerly widely used to decorate this type of pieces made with palm, but also with handles, in vibrant colors of blue and red, made with cotton thread on the ‘inkle’ loom. Attention to every detail celebrates this collection of handmade and contemporary bags, handmade with love, uniting an artisan mother with her daughter. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
