DASEIN

Dasein is a project started in 2001 by Hugo Leão, Tiago Fonseca, Samuel Abecasis and Vasco Ferraz, students of Equipment Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon.
Since then, Dasein has had as its aim the participation in competitions, incorporating in their projects both a professional and an experimental aspect.
In 2004, Dasein (a collective currently made up of communication designer Catarina Pestana and equipment designers Hugo Leão, Samuel Abecasis and Vasco Ferraz) emerges finally as a studio, developing industrial and communication design projects.
