Piurra Furnituring

Piurra is a toy, a sort of spinning top, that the designer’s grandfather (who was a master woodcarver and Gold Leaf applier) did for his grandchildren to play. Rui Viana heard stories, told by his family, about the way his grandfather, with his bare hands, would transform wood into beautiful pieces. Giving the name of the toy to a brand, he pays a tribute to his grandfather who had no time to see him grow.
