— NUNO LACERDA LOPES

Being contemporaneous in time and as a result of time

“Writing about Nuno Lacerda Lopes necessarily implies recalling a few aspects of his identity as a person and an author. As an architect and a designer, Nuno Lacerda is profoundly sensuous – an unusual characteristic in architects, Portobased or otherwise! A careful examination of his work, from set design to architecture or furniture, gives us an understanding of his material liking for things, shapes and textures, which are transfigured and flood our consistently explored feelings, either by touching the materials, observing the graphic, pictorial and spatial composition of the space or still through the intentional reflection of the light on the plans: all of it appeals to the most critical sensorial perception.”
