Inspired by Lisbon’s magical light, Marco Sousa Santos designs novel household products and accessories. His creations are the result of an exhaustive search for materials with good structural qualities and aesthetics that make them suitable for beautiful, practical, functional, long-lasting products. Sousa has worked in various design fields. He is a lecturer in industrial design in Lisbon, and he established his own studio in 1995.
