Blooming paper: a partnership with Oupas!

Sustainability has always been part of our DNA. But in such a special year for us, as we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we decided to go further and transform what already existed into something completely new.

This led to a partnership with Oupas! Design Studio, a Portuguese studio renowned for its craftsmanship and conscious approach to materials. Led by the talented Cidália and Sofia, this project stands out for its ability to transform paper into decorative pieces with their own identity.

The challenge was simple but meaningful: to reuse surplus paper from old Artevasi catalogs and give it a new life. The result? Unique decorative elements, created from paper pulp, designed to accompany our pots and reinforce the link between design and environmental responsibility.

“The challenge we were given was to breathe new life into catalogues that were in stock and not being used. We decided to transform them into paper pulp and recreate plants. This was the first time we had worked with paper pulp, and the result was quite good.”

More than a collaboration, this project was a pure exercise in reinvention that illustrates how forgotten materials can gain new expression through creativity and craftsmanship.

The end result not only gave rise to original and sustainable compositions, but also became part of the decor of our showroom, which is now greener and more conscious than ever.
