A manifesto of alert and return to EARTH.
The beginning of life as iconography.
Metaphor of nature in its purest and most raw state.
A new romanticism.
Create sophistication through natural materials and refined designs, in objects that revive the timelessness of the connection between Man and Earth that saw it flourish.
It was on November 9, 2024, that the iconic "A Festa das Mesas" returned. Pura Cal once again had the privilege of participating in this event and this time "Earth/Ground/Land" was our inspiration. Earth as an element and earth as a theme. Natural materials in symbiosis with contemporary design, in the design of a party table.
We created a fairy-like, sophisticated and refined environment, but above all significant, full of symbolism and which is simultaneously a manifesto of alertness and evocation of Nature. A pure nature that suggests latitudes like those of the Azores or Iceland.
But it is also a table that evokes time and memory, reusing objects from the past. The porcelain plates from an old factory in Viana, the handmade glass cups from the 1950s, the napkins with traditional Madeira embroidery. To sit, the original Caravela chairs from Fábrica Olaio together with the Cesca Chair by Marcel Breuer, here with an incredible upholstery with Pierre Frey fabric, and finishing with antique Portuguese pots, giving depth and timelessness to the project.
Contemporaneity is present in the organic design of the table, in the minimal boldness of the Herdmar cutlery and the terracotta plates with matte glaze in shades of green from Maria Portugal Terracota, or in the blown glass cups by Bela Silva for Serax .
The centerpiece that alludes to volcanic landscapes. Having origin as the basis of our concept for this project, it was through the hands of ceramist Maria Castel-Branco that the idealized images came to life, completed by the magnificent and subtle floral landscaping by Lucien Blondel.
It was special!
