Testemunho

Travelling through Portugal with the stones that make it up! This was the concept behind the StonebyPORTUGAL Awards trophy promoted by Assimagra, symbolically represented in the form of a geological testimony. A core, also known as a “tarolo” or “carote”, is the name given to a sample obtained by drilling a rotary probe into the ground of a quarry. Searching through the stone waste, we found the diversity of colour, variety and quality of the country’s stones and arrived at the final form of this piece, where each meticulously fitted layer represents not only a depth but also a geological moment. This project was done in conjunction with my design partner Rodrigo Duarte and the OLIVAH brand.
