Denise Cunha
It was at the age of 9 that I discovered that my site belonged to the territory of art. Defining myself is difficult for me. Curious, restless and forever dissatisfied. I am not one, I am many among the visual arts, cinema and contemporary photography. Searching will always be a path.

Ricardo Duarte
An engineer without a suit or tie, but with a permanent desire to stretch the day beyond the traditional 9 to 5 hours. So I let myself get away from everyday life, distracted by the pulse of passions that timidly pull me away from the rigidity of a business routine. Without thinking too much about how, I let myself flow among things that I don't even understand well. So I found Nariz Clogged and so I let myself walk without knowing what else I will find.

Rui Ribeiro
Be a dream maker and storyteller without knowing the way. Advertising was the easy direction, but the way with numbers took him away from creativity. Creative of the rational and rational of the creative, he is a saint without an altar. It feeds on the energy of sound and is a rebellious soul that seeks but is never well. Beside the Benefit.

Nuno Miguel Dias
Nuno Miguel Dias (or dIAZ), was born in Benfica in 1975 but took refuge the next day at Margem SOL, where he has lived ever since. He was a journalist for 15 years, many of them with the Best Job in the World: Get paid to travel and write (and photograph) about it. In travel magazines. But as he thought “travelwriter” was a more beautiful epithet, he stopped paying the Professional Card. Or because the late Blue Travel no longer paid its journalists. Nowadays he is part of the Marketing Department of MSC Cruises, but continues to write about things, if asked very nicely. After having drunk coffee. Most of the time he is a father, the smallest too, the rest only if he cannot.

4th Edition
Angela Subtle
She comes from the land of Bordallo, cavacas, spas and grew up in a family linked to ceramics - and perhaps that was what made her have an eye and taste for beauty and for what is done with the hands. She chose to be a therapist, co-founder of the Portuguese Association of Child Massage and “mother” of Casa da Árvore. Angela never lost interest in the arts and crafts that she brought alive in her memory since childhood. It is from these times that the taste for Minde's blankets that adorned his grandparents' house comes. A few years ago he went into the heart of the Serra d'Aire to hunt for the patterns of his childhood, the old traditional instruments that made the famous blankets, there were only two left and with the few artisans who still know their precepts, he started working with the aiming to rekindle the passion for manufacturing, by the standards of old, for the art of the land - for tradition. That was how Subtil Loom was born and that is how objects born of an art that time wanted to throw into oblivion gradually gain a new glow. These are your “threads with history”.
Carlos Batalha

He discovered his love for wood at the age of 32 and since then, he has dedicated himself to restoration and carpentry. The workshop Can Be! and << p Á s >> home living & design are the “children of your eyes”. Nowadays he creates objects in the image of what goes on in his soul and he discovered the magnificent art of sculpting almost by candlelight. For any challenge, it CAN BE!
