RUG BY GUR Casitas
GUR Casitas
During walks through the city, I notice the houses I encounter along the way, big and small, green, pink or red, full or empty.
In Porto, Portugal colorful houses prevail, with many windows and balconies that tell stories.
GUR Casitas wants to bring attention to this subject that is so current and important, our nest, our home.
Brincando com a tradição
Trabalhando com designers, artistas e ilustradores, Célia Esteves dos tapetes GUR combina desde 2012 a herança da tecelagem tradicional de Portugal com um toque de diversão e design.
“Os desperdícios da indústria têxtil local tornam-se um meio para revelar as ideias mais inesperadas de artistas, designers ou ilustradores de diversas culturas e origens. Através desta antiga – mas ainda amplamente utilizada – habilidade, Gur prova que o artesanato tem o poder de inovar, envolver e abraçar o futuro informado pela tradição.”

Playing with tradition
Working with designers, artists and illustrators, Célia Esteves of rugs by GUR blends since 2012 Portugal’s traditional weaving heritage with a touch of fun and design.
“The waste from the local textile industry becomes a medium to reveal the most unexpected ideas of artists, designers, or illustrators from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Through this ancient – but still widely used – skill, Gur proves that craftsmanship has the power to innovate, engage and embrace the future informed by tradition.”
