On March 16th we opened the exhibition "Daciano da Costa - Father of Design in Portugal" at the Kinda store in Lisbon (Amoreiras).
Fruit of a career spanning five decades, the pieces created by Daciano da Costa continue to surprise us by the way they combine the familiar and the
and the unexpected, tradition and innovation. With a consistent trajectory and attentive to social issues, the designer has conceived furniture and other iconic objects, exploring
Portuguese and cosmopolitan, timeless and contemporary references. This creative profusion is presented in the exhibition "Daciano da Costa - Father of
Design in Portugal" at the Kinda store in Amoreiras, Lisbon (from March 17th to 30th) and at his store in Porto (from April 13th to 28th). This exhibition will mark the beginning of a
partnership: for the first time this Portuguese brand will have in its catalog of authors a national design studio.
The partnership Kinda x Atelier Daciano da Costa arises from the common desire to disseminate the History of Portuguese Design. In this partnership, Kinda will commercialize the
system of shelves, developed by Daciano da Costa in the 1970s, in close partnership with Metalúrgica da Longra, in what was one of the most productive
one of the most productive relationships between industry and design in Portugal. The Práctica system values customization and flexibility to create sets of small and large shelves
large and small sets of shelves, in a single tone or combining several colors. With props and shelves of various sizes, in a wide palette of colors, selected among
those the author used in his furniture, the Práctica system allows an endless number of solutions.

Através de um ciclo de conversas que ocorreu na Roca Lisboa Gallery entre 2021 e 2022, procurou-se desenhar o percurso histórico, em particular no design da cadeira em contexto nacional. Através da análise do mais icónico móvel de assento, a Cadeira, tentaremos construir a sua evolução e contextualização através de leituras estruturadas directamente com os seus criadores. A exposição reporta alguns dos exemplos mais importantes, e já com significado histórico, dos participantes neste núcleo de conversas que agora se converte em exposição. Olhando para este objecto enquanto barómetro das condições culturais e sociais que atravessaram o país, através de peças da autoria de Carmo Valente, António Garcia, Daciano da Costa, Nuno Ladeiro, Toni Grilo, Marco Sousa Santos, Paulo Parra, Pedro Silva Dias ou Daniel Caramelo, tentaremos esboçar um traço da segunda metade do séc XX em torno do design de cadeiras em territorio nacional.
