Antique olive tree lamp and cord
The pieces we make in olive trees come from old tree pruning, from different parts of the tree, from the main trunk to the thinner branches that in the olive tree are highly resistant and that we position in different ways, so that they are lamps, tables, wine cellars or other objects and continue to remind us of trees and their importance in our lives.

Nature is home
Understanding the benefits of interacting with nature is important for maintaining and improving human well-being in a rapidly urbanising world.
These are some of the reasons why we continue to feel inspired to bring natural elements to your home, where contemplating nature becomes part of our daily lives.
This time we created a lamp, made of the cork oak (Quercus suber), thinking of how good it will look at your home.

Olive tree root Table
Olive tree root table, with wheels, can have a 1.10m round or rectangular 110 x 90 glass for example, but even without glass it remains a table.
This olive tree root table is ready to find its new home and live happily ever after!
It was created with the raw material available in our workshop, which we collected over the 15 years, where we lived and worked here.

Olive Trees
Vincent van Gogh Dutch
This is one of five pictures of olive orchards that Van Gogh made in November 1889. Painted directly from nature but animated by Seurat-like stippling and stylized passages of broken color, these works responded to recent compositions by Paul Gauguin and Émile Bernard. “What I’ve done is a rather harsh and coarse realism beside their abstractions,” Van Gogh observed, “but it will nevertheless impart a rustic note, and will smell of the soil.”

Cork oak lamp
There is mounting empirical evidence that interacting with nature delivers a range of measurable human benefits, including positive effects on physical health, psychological well-being, cognitive ability and social cohesion.
Understanding the benefits of interacting with nature is important for maintaining and improving human well-being in a rapidly urbanising world.
These are some of the reasons why we continue to feel inspired to bring natural elements to your home, where contemplating nature becomes part of our daily lives.
This time we created a lamp, made of the cork oak (Quercus suber), thinking of how good it will look at your home.
The cork oak (Quercus suber) is a tree of the oak family, grown in southern Europe and from which cork is extracted.Together with the pine tree, the cork oak is one of the most prevalent tree species in Portugal, being more common in the coastal Alentejo and Algarve mountains. Thanks to a cork, the cork oak has been cultivated since ancient times.
The extraction of cork is not (in general terms) harmful to the tree since it produces a new layer of “bark” (suber) with identical thickness every nine years, after which it is subjected to new stripping. Recently, more mechanized and safer processes have been developed to carry out this operation, as in the machine that cuts the cork, avoiding injuries harmful to the life of the cork oak, and that facilitates the work of the drawers, without replacing them, thus increasing the productivity.It can be up to 20 m, but it will generally be 15 m.

Olive tree mirror
Mirror created from an olive tree.
Photographed at our workshop in Montemor-o-Novo, Portugal.
Now it lives in a house in Lisbon, just like a lamp that we created more than a year ago.
It is a privilege to be able to bring natural elements into your life.
