The Birdwatchers
The birdwatcher is freed from details. Seeing himself as an integral part of nature, he relates to it intimately, respectfully; a bond made so much stronger by the thrill of what he does.
Even for those living the high life, the greatest luxury is still the simple satisfaction of being alone. The simple proof that the relationship between oneself and nature still exists.
It is this relationship, considered primordial by a*forest* design, that led to the recent collaboration with *Burel* brand. *Burel* was hatched in the Serra da Estrela, developing from a social project aimed at stimulating the production and marketing of products from the town of Manteigas.
"The Birdwatchers" is a collection of products, accessories and some items of clothing in /Burel/, the traditional Portuguese 100% wool fabric, woven in the old Império mill, which is still working in Manteigas.
The colours of the Serra da Estrela mountains predominate in this collection: greens, greys, honey and white in silhouettes and objects that epitomise a lifestyle in harmony with nature; like a birdwatcher.
