Portuguese Expression

"Unity is strength" - "A união faz a força" is an expression used in the Portuguese language that demonstrates that people united, around the same objective, have more strength and value.
The expression comes from a Greek fable in which a father teaches his children, who constantly quarrel, the power of unity: the patriarch asks them to break a bundle of sticks, which proves to be an impossible task. Then he separates the sticks and asks them to break them, showing that "it is easy to break a stick, but it is difficult to break a set of sticks". Likewise, if the children came together, they would be unstoppable: "unity is strength".

Handmade in Portugal

All SO-SO objects are designed and handmade in our studio in Cascais - Lisbon. We believe that this slow process of craftwork, where each piece takes its time to come to life, makes them unique and singular. The care and thought that is put in each object makes it singular, so it can be part of people's life. Thank you/ Obrigado.
