Catarina Carreiras
















































Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce Catarina Carreiras. What a lovely and talented individual. I love her use of patterns on her dinnerware designs. Pattern on pattern on pattern, so mind numbingly beautiful. Also the wedding service (designed for vista alegre) inspired by the cast decorations of ceilings in lisbon's old houses are incredible. I wouldn't even want to put food on any them, just set the table over and over and over and over... Some of her works are a little too geometric/modernist/minimalist-y for my personal taste but I love seeing designers who are talented across a variety of mediums, not simply graphic design. A great way of seeing if someone has a keen eye or not. Beautiful work Catarina!
