Handcrafted goods proudly produced by craftspeople in Portugal celebrating the land and its traditional craft. As we live in an increasingly digital world, Origin aspires to bring a greater sense of tactility back to everyday life and deepen the relationship between people and their objects. Materials that are rough in texture, with natural imperfections, or handmade objects that are slightly unique from one another. 

The exchange of values and ideas between designers and makers, working together to create endearing products, is what we live for. Today, Origin is about Portugal, but tomorrow, we could also tell the stories of other undiscovered lands that are rich in craft, industry and culture.

Founder: Designer Gabriel Tan, created Origin after he first visited Portugal in 2014 with no specific intentions other than to enjoy the beaches and do some sightseeing. During his stay there, he inadvertently ended up in the workshops of Portuguese artisans and was amazed by the amount of industry and craft that reside next to beautiful landscapes.
