Associative Design Showcases the Best of
Refined, Contemporary Portuguese Design at
London Design Fair 2018
20th to 23rd September, Old Truman Brewery
At London Design Fair 2018, Associative Design will present 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 London Design Fair, 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 prominent stand on the ground
floor of the renowned Old Truman Brewery (Hall 1, Stand 1.11),
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: lounge,
dining, kitchen and office. And with Portugal’s wealth of natural
resources, such as cork, wood and marble, an eco-friendly
theme will exhibit a selection of Portuguese materials.

Corque Design introduces a new global brand
concept – “Designing Living Objects” – the design
of high quality, exclusive and differentiated
products made from cork with unique sensorial
properties and exceptional environmental
characteristics, for an audience that prizes

store in New York, Corque Design succeeded early
on as a recognized world brand and trendsetter in
the field of sustainable product design, appearing

Magna Natura is the brand of a pioneering project,
unique for the use of cork in its pure state,
designing unique, unrepeatable products that
remain throughout generations.
The Magna Natura project became a reality, not
only because its leader, Isabel, was born in an
ancestral family working the cork, but rather
her incomparable intimacy with pure cork that
makes her wander the Alentejo plains, caressing
every cork oak under the clear blue sky and
the scorching heat, hearing the cicadas singing
incessantly, feeling the drops of sweat as if they
were callings, or the chills because she seems to
be able to touch the stars, so bright, and that huge
moon, so serene, so secretive of its dreams…

Armona
sideboard
Designed by
Mário Picoito, Tiago Rato
“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.”
NAUU DESIGN’s pieces convey quality, innovation,
personality, excellence, refinement, elegance, and,
above all, passion. These are the values we uphold
at NAUU DESIGN and which are imbedded in each
piece and every detail, from the time it’s imaged
to the time it’s completed. NAUU DESIGN’s main
mission is to offer a design that stresses quality,
excellence and distinction, anchored on the most
innovative joinery techniques. In accordance
with our values and mission, our goals align with
elevating Portuguese production beyond.
