ONCE, I WAS A DOOR !

We mix the organic material, reused wood with the concrete.

Each piece is the only one of its kind, respecting the material characteristics and it`s history.

SUSTAINABILITY IS A LIFESTYLE !

It is through concrete that we create the simple shapes and the raw look.

All the lamps are made by hand, so all of them are imperfect.

They have the irregularities and textures and we respect that.

Also our production is conscious of our environment and ecosystems, with no pollution.

Black charcoal, mustard yellow, green, pink, cobalt blue and nature gray are pigments we use to give color to our lamps.

Currently we see how vulnerable our world can be and all the harm we have been causing it.

We must slow down. If we stop and think, most of our choices are spontaneous towards what’s easier to do or cheaper to buy. Those same choices have consequences attached, they take us to over buy short life low quality products, discard and buy again. Products that lack originality and are purposeless.

At Musgo Design we gather all efforts to fights these consumption habits.

We are not perfect, but we believe that every step and every choice we make is towards a

Margarida and Rui founders the MUSGO DESIGN brand.

After spending three years in Rio de Janeiro, Margarida e Rui have returned to Portugal in 2016 and create MUSGO DESIGN. In their studio, installed in a restored dairy, they design a range of furniture with their lamps grabbing the limelight.

During their execution, the designers use recycled wood from old portuguese homes, giving them a fresh lease of life. Throught their creativity and respect for the characteristics of the materials used, they create practical design solutions based on sustainability and simplicity.
