Associative Design Showcases the Best of
Refined, Contemporary Portuguese Design at
January Furniture Show 2019
20th to 23rd January, NEC, Birmingham
At January Furniture Show 2019, Associative Design presents
an eye-catching showcase of refined, contemporary Portuguese
design. Created by the Portuguese Association of Wood and
Furniture Industries (AIMMP), Associative Design seeks to
promote Portuguese design globally, exhibiting the best of
Portugal at many of the design world’s most discerning and
distinguished shows.
In today’s design sphere, the ‘Made in Portugal’ label is
attracting increasing amounts of attention and recognition;
it is a sign of quality, craftsmanship, innovation, integrity and
sustainability. A great number of contemporary Portuguese
design brands continue to build on the country’s prolific design
heritage, combining tradition with a modern-day outlook.
Despite Portugal’s relatively small population (around 10.3
million citizens), the nation’s design scene is burgeoning. With
an artistically and culturally diverse design offer, Portuguese
design is finding favour with design audiences across the world.
At January Furniture Show, visitors can expect to find an
aesthetically pleasing mix of contemporary and luxury
Portuguese design and innovation, including furniture, lighting
and objets d’art. With its stand G40 on the Pav. 2, Associative
Design’s “The Best of Portugal” showcase will focus on the
discerning consumer. Brands will display their designs across a
range of inspirational living spaces as well as Portugal’s wealth
of natural resources.

Plug-in
Modular high-tech
furniture
Designed by
Ana Fonseca, Brimet Silva
Produced by
Associative Design
“Plug-in is a versatile modular furniture
system inspired by the computational
concept of shape grammars, developed in
the 1970s by George Stiny and James Gips.
A generative shape grammar is a design
system based on rules and steps, which
allows the creation of multiple combinations
of an alphabet of pre-determined modules.
The user can customize each modular
item according to translation and rotation
movements. The multifunctional modules
explore the connection between a low-tech
material (wood) and high-tech components
(Bluetooth control systems).
Plug-in
The aesthetics were inspired by kinetic art
Modular high-tech (Optical Art), furniture conferring a motion sense to
the whole set.”

Galinha
Sideboard
Designed by
André Teoman
Produced by
Johema
“The connection of Portugal to the rooster
have always been culturally intrinsic as one
of the most iconic images of our country.
This piece portrays a part of our culture in
a sober and emotional object that creates
interactivity in its exterior and a certain
surprise effect in the interior. Like chickens,
this piece of furniture rests on its eggs.“

Armona
Sideboard
Designed by
Mário Picoito, Tiago Rato
Produced by
NAUU Design
“With a strong inspiration in the giant dunes of the
ARMONA island, at Ria de Faro, this sideboard has
a bold and avantgarde design, combined with a
mixture of materials that convey a sense of luxury
and refinement, where wood is “Lady and Queen”.
Wanting to highlight the noblest of materials -
wood - this piece was created with an extremely
geometric design but at the same time simulates
the waves of the sea, as well as those created by
the wind in the dunes. Covered with 388 cubes of
wood lacquered with intense matt and a foil-footed
of copper with high-gloss lacquer, this piece easily
becomes the center of attention in any space in
which it is inserted, as it reflects the vast experience
of our craftsmen and the most traditional
woodworking techniques used.”
