We got in touch with the work of the designer Gonçalo Prudêncio after visiting the restaurant
Adega dos Canários, located in Lisbon (Cais do Sodré). Designed by Ternullomelo Architects, this rehabilitation project gets its differentiation also through the furniture that presents: the chairs and tables collection designed by Gonçalo Prudêncio, which was named as G.pt. We invited Gonçalo to send us his work to be published in our blog, being the result of this contact in today's post.

"G.pt is a furniture
collection designed, manufactured and sold by GPOD | Gonçalo Prudêncio Office
for Design.
It is inspired on
what Indie represents within the music industry. By remaining independent it
conquers the space for pure reflection, and for defining its own set of
operating rules – aesthetically and otherwise. Its reflection, more than
formal, is mostly about the social and economical aspects surrounding the
design industry. It is aimed at understanding quality and the necessary
mechanisms to achieve it, as well as how design products become part of
everyone’s lives.
Being independent of
any establishment, due to the intrinsic freedom to define the what-to-do, the
why-doing-it and the how-to-do-it, with a fairly high level of risk control,
makes it easier to address complex issues like sustainability or cultural
identity, as well as other social issues surrounding the manufacture of
utilitarian goods, in order to try out ideas that could then be applied on a
bigger scale.
The collection G.pt
is composed by a dining table, a family of stools and small tables, a system of
sofa-side tables, a family of lamps, a dining chair, a double bed and a candle
light holder, all produced in Portugal using national materials only."
