Entry DescriptionThe Pessoa hanging lamp pays homage to Fernando Pessoa, a renowned literary figure celebrated for his remarkable poetry. Mirroring the multifaceted nature of Pessoa’s famous heteronyms, this hanging lamp exudes a unique charm that captivates the eye from different angles. Designed to be a timeless piece, much like Pessoa’s literary works, the lamp creates a subtle ambiance with its neutral color palette and graceful appearance.

Sustainability ApproachOur commitment is to use local materials and ensure ethical manufacturing, reduce energy consumption throughout each product's lifecycle, repurpose noble materials and remove all harmful chemicals from the workplace, especially material finishes that often obscure the true tactile and visual origin of the material.
The selection of the finest materials is made consciously, with a focus on quality, durability, and sustainability. With some of the world's finest marble quarries located in Portugal, we source this material locally.
The use of brass in the Pessoa hanging lamp is particularly noteworthy for its beauty and long-term preservation. Portugal, being one of the leading producers of copper and zinc in the EU, has fostered the development of highly technical knowledge in the manual craftsmanship of brass.
