First seen as visual chaos, the Utopia sideboard creates an inconsistently coherent harmony. Abstract shapes come together to form a disruptive, eye-pleasing silhouette. A new beginning signaling the search for utopia and completing the creative process initiated during the White Series.

DRAMA develops a hedonistic approach about creation that transports us into another world, believing in the significant design, a strand against the massification of banal, innocuous products. Add a meaning to function, a reason. The belief in Utopia as a new vocabulary for the generations to come.

Adérito Soares is a prominent Portuguese contemporary designer also founder and creative director of DRAMA Studio. Born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1979, and because the complex economic, social and political situation of the country, Adérito Soares now lives and works in Porto, Portugal.
A designer who bases his approach and creative thinking on clearly conceptual perspective, giving a great emphasis to the meaning and the visual expression of the form.
“I created DRAMA as a platform for my own universe and for other voices that share the same philosophy. A playground for new possibilities. The future is to create another way of thinking about how we can understand and live in our technological, post digital world”.
