VICARA Studio is a creative agency that develops original initiatives and socially conscious solutions in the area of product design. Bringing together designers, artisans and industry, VICARA takes a hands-on approach in creating a sustainable and interconnected design ecosystem. The agency is also the owner of two product design brands: the homonymous brand, which presents a catalog of exclusive pieces produced in ceramics, glass, wood, or weaving techniques, and which has national design and production as its common thread; and Tasco, a red clay tableware brand, inspired by the vernacular of Portuguese handmade ceramics and its gastronomic culture.
Our terracotta brand. A collection of products for the table with a focus on traditional pottery. Drawing inspiration from portuguese gastronomic culture. Designed and produced in Portugal.
