Once in the house, the ESCUDELA wooden bowl is already indispensable. The original with Portuguese roots is a chopping board, cooking utensil, bowl and beautifully shaped serving object all in one. Finely handcrafted from oiled beech, it offers a round surface in the middle for slicing and cutting, while the recess around it provides space for fruit, vegetables, peelings, seeds, cuttings etc. Alternatively, it can be used to store fruit and vegetables and serve pieces that have previously been cut into bite-sized pieces. A really nice piece for many occasions.

Products and ideas that make origin visible and are full of Portuguese stories: Founded in 2005 by Álbio Nascimento and Kathi Stertzig, THE HOME PROJECT (THP) is a Lisbon-based studio that works with great sensitivity to materials and depth of craftsmanship. At its core is the principle of "design with origin" - designs that translate traditional Portuguese techniques, local materials and the cultural identity of a place into contemporary products, concepts and spaces.

THP sees design as a mediator and creates platforms and networks that promote communication and knowledge. Through close cooperation with craft businesses, museums and cultural institutions, works are created that combine sensuality, beauty, functionality and a sense of responsibility. At the same time, they are rooted both materially and culturally.
