Lisbon is full of diversity and tradition. So as Arte Assinada, a store from the Portuguese capital, which is also described as a ‘laboratory of ideas in a creative and crude space where artists from various fields can submit their work to the public’.
Plenty of talented artists didn’t miss the chance to do it. And many of them ended up also on Sugartrends. We chose for you those whose creative pieces made the biggest impression on us, thanks to their unusuality. Here is our Top 5 selection from Arte Assinada:
This artistic piece is made of glazed stoneware by Ceramica Vitor Reis from Portugal. It represents the traditional image of a ghost. If you are not scared of ghosts and other creatures which are hidden under the floating white sheets you should know that there is only one of this masterpiece left, so don’t hesitate to visit Arte Assinada on Sugartrends and get it for your pleasure.
‘Cold hands, warm heart’. An old Portuguese proverb, which was inspiration for Lígia Carteiro when she decided to create a lamp in a heart shape. People who have cold hands, have a warm heart because they’re in love. People who are in love, know how to appreciate this great idea and awesome design, made of white porcelain. The best part is that thanks to the 15W bulb you can really feel warm when you touch it.
Vitor Reis, Portuguese artist who likes to experiment with design and techniques, stands behind this fascinating installation called Evasion. His creations are always made on the basis of total freedom and that makes them original and extraordinary at the same time. People who love to have such unique pieces at home (our co-founder Tim belongs among them) should be aware of the fact that only one piece was made! So who will be the lucky owner?
