The Aldeias do Xisto brought together a group of 18 craftsmen and a design team with the aim of seeking a new connection between handicrafts, know-how and design. The Água Musa project is the result of this creative process, inspired by the theme of water and immersed in the identity of the land.

“Water was the inspiring theme for this new craft/design/nature relationship which (…) provided an innovative direction in the arguments and narratives of contemporary artefacts. They are also a reflection of a concern with identity revival and community renewal, to serve the cause of man and of a more sustainable society”, João Nunes, project coordinator.
