We believe that the objects that surround us have a very important value in our lives, not only practical but also emotional.

We believe that these objects can and should have a positive impact not only on the lives of those who use them, but also on the environment, the lives of those who produce them and the place from which they come.

Bzugo was created in 2018 by André Inácio and Mariana Cerejo. The project was born from the desire to give shape to our ideas and explore our creativity while seeking to have a positive impact on the environment and the community.

Our pieces are designed and made by us in our workshop. Each piece is crafted by hand, which results in unique and exclusive results.

Born in 89 in Sintra, graduated in Cinema and Video, he spent much of his childhood playing with wood in his father's workshop. After many years behind a screen, the time has come to free the craftsman inside him.

If you don't find him in the workshop, he's likely to be climbing, cycling, photographing or taking care of the vegetable garden.

The raw materials we work with come from various sources but we always give priority to reused materials or local resources. In the image details of a manual loom made from reusing solid wood from a bed found in the trash.

We don't focus on specific products. We like to explore materials, shapes, techniques, and to develop projects that somehow meet our passions.
