Caravela Collection, Diogo Corte-Real
The Caravela Collection draws inspiration from Portugal’s maritime heritage, reimagining the spirit of discovery for a contemporary audience. Named after the Portuguese caravels that once charted unknown seas, this collection embodies the tension between movement and stability.
Crafted from stainless-steel, aluminum, and glass, the Caravela Collection celebrates the resilience of modern materials. Stainless steel and aluminum evoke the strength of the caravel, while glass introduces transparency and lightness. Together, these materials create an interplay of form and function, combining industrial precision with sculptural elegance.
