About the Portuguese Design Center
As a body which drives and creates an interface between all partners – professionals, companies, design colleges, publications, shops, public and private institutions – the Centro Português de Design searches out opportunities, enhances professional opportunities and resources, and ensures that the public participates in the world of design. CPD has not a closed or negative view of design, guided by the exclusion of what is not ”true design”, and supports the creation in Portugal of institutions and projects in which design plays a major role.
