Sogrape and Sandeman bring a unique architectural piece to Quinta do Seixo

Read more

Sogrape, owner of the Sandeman brand, is joining the Logroño International Architecture and Design Festival, Concéntrico, with a unique  architectural piece – “El arquetipo de la casa” – to be installed at one of the most  beautiful landscapes in the Douro, Quinta do Seixo.

Sogrape is joining Concéntrico, the Logroño International Architecture and Design Festival, for the  first time and is bringing the Spanish urban arts movement to Quinta do Seixo, in the Douro,  installing an architectural piece by the architecture ensemble Collective X (Spain and Poland), with  the title “El arquetipo de la casa”. To appreciate, explore or even sit in one of the sides from the  structure, will be a complementary experience to the visitors who pass by. 

In line with Sandeman’s historic connection to the arts, Sogrape is joining hands with Bodegas LAN,  the group’s Spanish branch that has been sponsoring the festival for several years. Besides the usual  piece installed at Viña Lanciano, this year’s edition is bringing an architectural piece to Portugal for  the first time. Miguel Iván Hernández Cobos, Katarzyna Dominiak and Eduardo Romero García are  the authors of the winning proposition for Quinta do Seixo, in this 8th edition of the Concéntrico  Festival. Sogrape was also part of the festival’s jury, contributing to the choice of the piece that will  have the idyllic Douro as a background.

Raquel Seabra, Executive Board Member at Sogrape, highlights the importance of the initiative  for the company and the region: “Through initiatives like this, Sogrape aims to bring more and  better tourism for the region, thus diversifying its cultural offer. We believe this piece will also  attract new tourists to the Douro.”  

She concludes “the connection to Sandeman was obvious in this case, considering the brand’s history in supporting this sector. The partnership with this Spanish artistic movement strengthens  once more the commitment the brand has since the beginning with the world of art and its  proximity to the entire artistic community, this time expressed internationally, through the  Concéntrico festival”.

The Concéntrico Festival  

The Concéntrico festival is one of the most renowned modern architecture and design festivals in  Spain and it invites all its visitors to explore the city of Logroño through its pieces, exhibits, meetings,  activities and shows, in a celebration between art and the urban lifestyle context that surrounds it. 

The Concéntrico festival intends to reflect on the urban environment and the city through  architecture and design applications in different formats. In its eighth edition, the festival  announced three tenders, where the applications were to create a facility at Plaza Escuelas Trevijano,  and installations at the Obispo Bustamante street, Viña Lanciano (La Rioja, Spain), and Quinta do  Seixo (Douro, Portugal). 

The members of the jury met in March, at the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de La Rioja  headquarters to choose this edition’s winners. Besides Mafalda Guedes, from Sogrape, the jury panel  was composed by Amaya Cebrián, Marketing Director at Bodegas LAN, and several other Spanish  personalities from the architecture and Design sector.
