Project 213A is a European design house that launched in 2021, founded by Jurgita Dileviciute, Theresa Marx and Clement Deboeuf.
The name of the brand “Project 213A” refers to a London based address where they each have lived - at different times throughout their studies. Jurgita and Theresa studied at the University of the Arts London with a degree in Footwear and Fashion Design; Clement has a finance degree from Ines Paris.
After several years of working in their professional fields, the global lockdown in 2020 presented the founders with the opportunity to work together and found Project 213A. The brand lays a big focus on traditional craftsmanship with the goal to create long lasting design pieces that don’t fall into trend patterns.
All products are made locally in Project 213A’s in-house ceramic and wood workshops with further help of skilled artisans from Northern Portugal.
The Portuguese heritage in craftsmanship also has a strong influence on the brand’s design practice. To honour this, the brand names most of their collections after Portuguese cities and areas.
