AICEP Portugal
Portugal’s participation at 3daysofdesign under the Made in Portugal Naturally brand—presents Momentum, a curatorial concept exploring the dialogue between craftsmanship, cultural memory and contemporary design. Shaped by a deep connection to the Atlantic and the influence of the oceans, it reflects a culture rooted in tradition, innovation and material awareness. Through cork, textiles, wood, ceramics and metal, Portuguese design expresses continuity and transformation. Momentum highlights the ability to turn heritage into contemporary objects, positioning Portugal as a design ecosystem where craftsmanship, industry and innovation evolve together.
Curated by Miguel Soeiro, the exhibition presents Momentum as a reflection on Portuguese design, where tradition and contemporaneity coexist. Conceived as the imagined interior of a seaside home, it explores the relationship between objects, materials and a domestic landscape shaped by Atlantic culture and the influence of the oceans. Through furniture, textiles, ceramics, cork and metal, the exhibition reveals how Portuguese design transforms cultural memory and craftsmanship into contemporary solutions. It invites visitors to consider design not only as objects, but as a conscious process connecting home, memory and responsibility for the future.
