Gonçalo Campos's profile

Burel Manteigas

Furniture
Burel, one of the most traditional wool products of the Serra da Estrela, is a highly resistant, compact, and warm material that has been developed to perfectly suit the high demands of life in the mountains. We have revived the production of this material in one of the last wool factories in Manteigas, and are now using it to create products that bring together
exciting new concepts and innovative design.
Here, we seek to draw on: The Human Potential,by giving employment to the people who live in this area; The Potential in Resources, by making use of the diversity of plants that are unique to this region; Local Knowledge, whitch mirrors the environmental uniqueness, finding distinctive solutions to a rare environment.
