Origin Made
Origin Made is a Porto-based craft-focused design brand founded in 2019 by Gabriel Tan and Cherie Er, built on the belief that meaningful objects emerge from direct dialogue between designers and makers. Pairing international designers with craftspeople from Iberia and beyond, the brand develops contemporary furniture, lighting, textiles, and collectible objects that celebrate regional craft traditions. Each piece is shaped as much by the hands that make it as by the concept behind it, a process that values collaborative contemplation, material honesty, and the irreplaceable knowledge held by skilled craftspeople. Origin Made’s showcase at 3daysofdesign is supported by the DesignSingapore Council.
"The House of Making" is a collective exhibition by Ariake, Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, Origin Made, Parachilna, and Zimmer+Rohde, five craft-focused brands brought together at the historic Asia House for 3daysofdesign. Modern life is surrounded by finished things: objects arrive complete and resolved, their histories of trial and transformation invisible. This exhibition is an invitation behind the curtain — beyond the finished object to reveal the creative process, with sketches, prototypes, materials, and tools of the trade, narrating the journey from idea to form. It is part showcase, part love letter to artistry and craft.
