This event will be organized by famous luxury design magazine CovetED Magazine that, as you probably know by now, has the mission of being the ultimate collectors’ luxury and design craftsmanship and, for that reason, decided to support an event that could celebrate and honor the best that is made in the world of design and craftsmanship.
What is design and what is craftsmanship? What kind of magic happens when we combine the best of design and the best of handcrafts? What can we learn from the ancient masters? What can we expect from the future? How can we anticipate the future in the world of design and craftsmanship? These and several other questions are going to be discussed in a much-anticipated event that is to happen this summer in the beautiful and historical city of Porto, Portugal.
