Covet Town, is a new project of Covet Group, known as the “city of design” and it was recently inaugurated. This city aims to be a hub of creativity, and the meeting point of thinkers and makers. In this new spot, will be possible to join all the processes to create  pieces even more amazing and unique.

Preserving as many national arts and trades as possible, is the ambithion of CULTURE. Covet Group is working closely with multiples entities, public and private, in order to make reborn and give a new life for some of the most traditional techniques of portuguese craftsmanship.

Like some designers argue, the need to produce a large number and volume of pieces, made lost some handmade processes and traditional techniques, along the time. However, it’s time to take a break, and recover those unique processes and values, and put them in every piece. That way, each piece, will have is own identity and soul.

To aim, that ambitious goal, will be developed artist residencies to provide an exchange of experiences and knowledge, to keep traditional techniques alive.

Bet in young people, and at the same time respect the traditions, could be the best way to achieve the excellence. When a young mind with refreshing ideas, has the knowledge and resources, to include at there own work traditional arts like jewellery, the way to uniqueness is closer.
