From Portugal and working with designers from all over the world, UVA is a company that develops objects inspired by traditional craft skills, applied to a context of global design, technology and innovation. With the goal of empowering and reactivating Portuguese ancestral economies based in small workshops and hand making solutions, UVA promotes a collaborative approach to the design process.

UVA creates products that people can relate to, taking the shared knowledge between designers and artisans who blend their vast experience with technics, materials and most importantly with human potentials. In this process, where the local meets the global, UVA becomes as a platform for carrying traditions a step forward.
