About us

From Portugal and working with designers from all over the world, UVA develops objects inspired by traditional craft skills, applied to a context of global design, technology and innovation. With the goal of small workshops and hand making solutions, UVA promotes a collaborative approach
to the design process.

UVA creates products that preople can relate to, taking the shared knowledge between designers and artisans who blend their vast experience with technica, materials and, most importantly, human potentials. In this process, where the local meets the global, UVA becomes a platform for carrying traditions a step forward.
