Heritage by Nature. Innovation by Design.
Burel Factory is a Portuguese brand from Serra da Estrela, dedicated to the preservation and regeneration of the industrial heritage, the deep knowledge of the wool industry that crosses generations, its unique culture, tradition, people and history that punctuate that same place.
From the heart of the mountain promotes the mastery of knowledge, the art made by several hands that weave, card and spin in ancestral machines, ensuring the legacy of wool and burel through design, art, textile and scientific innovation, crossing the woven heritage with uplifting creativity, weaving a sustainable, circular, inspiring and authentic vision of the future.
Following last year, Burel Factory will keep on the subject of Explore, a motto for innovation and new developments and discoveries.
They will venture into the limits of craftsmanship, developing techniques that introduce the art of burel to the art of basketry from Aldeia de Gonçalo, in a combination of knowledge, technique and artistry to unveil unique objects that go beyond function. Unmissable.
As for Lisbon Design Week, two exhibitions happening in both locations.
