Made in Portugal, With Love.

Along with many other countries in the world, Portugal has put a vast amount of interest on the art of sustainability. Always known for their unique style and sense of art, Portugal is once again leading the way in the designing of sustainable interior elements. Made Out Portugal is an organization and coalition of Portugal designers and artists that promotes locally made, sustainable products. These products range from interior materials, to furniture, to artwork, to clothing. This versatile organization is gaining national attention and support by the day. Made Out Portugal has successfully promoted both local and sustainable products to the point where they are beginning to gain international acclaim. This is definitely an organization to watch out for.

Not only does this organization put high importance on supporting local artisans and businesses as well as sustainable products, but they are truly dedicated to spotlighting the artists themselves. This is a wonderful organization that keeps struggling artists off the streets and creates a platform for them to build their career upon. Most of these artist come from humble beginnings and therefore use reclaimed materials to keep their overhead low so that they can stay out of poverty. The beauty of these handcrafted and designed items cannot be touched by the mass manufacturing of machine produced goods. Most of these artists are getting a second chance at their calling and quite a few of them have become the rockstars of the Portugal art scene. Made Out Portugal has begun to establish itself as an international representation of Portugal's artists and artisans and continues to grow in popularity.
