EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW //
Coveted Magazine: How, when and why did you get into the design
industry?
Sara Lança: My design journey began in Bolzano where I
studied at the Libera Università. After Italy, my next stop was
London, where I’ve studied and worked as an Assistant Teacher
at Kingston University. My passion for product design took me
back to Portugal, where I did the doctorate in Industrial Design
at ESAD Leiria. Since 2011, I’ve been working as a designer at
Menina Design Group, which is the owner of brands like Boca
do Lobo and DelightFULL. Through hard work, my dedication
was noticed and I became BRABBU’s brand manager.
CM: Where do you draw inspiration from?
SL: I like to see BRABBU as a storyteller of the world. Every
single piece of our collection has a unique story behind it,
inspired by some of the most interesting cultures and places
around the world, from Europe to Asia. Inspiration can come
from everywhere so I try to use my five senses to absorb the
world around me.
