PROJECT 213A IS A EUROPEAN DESIGN HOUSE LAUNCHED IN 2021, FOUNDED BY JURGITA DILEVICIUTE, THERESA MARX, AND CLÉMENT DEBOEUF. THE BRAND NAME “PROJECT 213A” REFERS TO A LONDON ADDRESS WHERE EACH OF THEM LIVED AT DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THEIR STUDIES.

JURGITA AND THERESA STUDIED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS LONDON, OBTAINING DEGREES IN SHOE AND FASHION DESIGN, WHILE CLÉMENT HOLDS A DEGREE IN FINANCE FROM INSEEC PARIS.

AFTER SEVERAL YEARS WORKING IN THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS, THE GLOBAL LOCKDOWN OF 2020 GAVE THE FOUNDERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE AND LAUNCH PROJECT 213A.

THE BRAND FOCUSES ON TRADITIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP, WITH THE AIM OF CREATING SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PIECES THAT DO NOT FOLLOW TRENDS.

ALL PRODUCTS ARE LOCALLY MADE IN THE IN-HOUSE CERAMIC AND WOOD WORKSHOPS OF PROJECT 213A, WITH THE HELP OF SKILLED ARTISANS FROM NORTHERN PORTUGAL.

THE HERITAGE OF PORTUGUESE CRAFTSMANSHIP ALSO STRONGLY INFLUENCES THE BRAND’S DESIGN PRACTICE. TO HONOR THIS, MOST COLLECTIONS ARE NAMED AFTER PORTUGUESE CITIES AND REGIONS.
