Baptiste da Silva's work is deeply rooted in the notion of territory, leading him to adopt a multidisciplinary approach that highlights materials and expertise nurtured by exceptional craftsmen. The Portuguese territory, through the history of its crafts, landscape, and culture, serves as his primary source of inspiration. Accordingly, his work seeks to explore traces of history and know-how, revealing their richness while offering a contemporary interpretation. His creative process is guided by a reflection on sustainability. He favors the use of local and natural materials to create objects that are both ethical and sensitive, while ensuring a responsible use of resources.
He does not consider design to be merely an aesthetic discipline, but rather a sensory experience. Through his creations, he seeks to establish a unique interaction between the object and the human being, triggered by a specific technique, a material’s texture, its form, or its cultural imprint.
Baptiste Da Silva is a young talented designer whose practice explores the deep connection between materials, territory and craftsmanship. He is passionated about experimenting with materials that are part of a specific context and rich in history.
