Founded by Further Ther designers Natasza Grzeskiewicz and Tomás Fernandes, the collective aims to support and expand Portugal’s emerging [collectible design scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-collectible-design). The exhibition features furniture, lighting, and decorative objects displayed throughout the chapel, with works incorporating materials including stiffened cotton, mouth-blown crystal glass, washi paper, oak, ash wood, stainless steel, and solid sucupira wood. The presentation explores contemporary design practices currently developing across Portugal. Featured works include a cotton-wrapped pendant lamp by Bombony, a wobbly oak shelf by Tiago Moura, a large [washi-paper light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shining-a-light) by Violaine d'Harcourt, crystal glass flowers by Lucie Claudia Podrabska, and a stool by Sofia De Francesco constructed from ash wood and stainless steel. Additional pieces include a solid wood table by Thayra Correia and other [furniture and lighting projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design) created specifically for the exhibition.
