Duality 2019
Duality 2019

Designers: VA Studio, Vista Alegre Portugal, Ílhavo, Portugal
Manufacturers: Vista Alegre Portugal, Ílhavo, Portugal


Based on drawings from the late 19th century originating from the Vista Alegre Museum collection, the pieces in this collection merge Vista Alegre’s past with the present. 

Inspired by both the charm and the dichotomy between opposing natures, the Duality collection portrays the dialectic between reason and emotion, control and explosion, sobriety and excess. On the main faces of its pieces, classic elements prevail, in white, subtly arranged in a delicate harmony. 

On the other side, lush flowers burst out, seeking to invade the peace and destabilize the regularity, in a swirl of colors and romantic motifs.
