Quinta da Regaleira, Sintra, Lisboa

2005 Creation

Contemporary jewellery collection inspired in decorative motifs taken from the Palace, the Chapel and from other buildings existing at Quinta da Regaleira (Sintra), which was designed by the architect Luigi Manini [1848-1936] to António Carvalho Monteiro [1848 -1920], who acquired this property to the Viscountess of Regaleira, being currently under the protection of the Cultursintra Foundation. Some artefacts designed suggest another perspective for some alchemical symbols related to the transmutation phenomenon concerning the colour changes of the matter.

Design Teresa Milheiro e Sónia Almeida
