We spoke with the founder of this project, Paulino de Sousa, born in Braga, with a degree in Industrial Management Engineering and a master's degree in project evaluation and management.
We began our brief series of questions, and the answers to each one was spontaneous and sincere.
*What led the engineer to follow this professional path?
- The desire to follow a greater passion, create.
*What is the importance of engineering in the creation and development of a product?
- Engineering is the method to achieve the end. Throughout my career, this specific school of the automotive industry has been my compass.
*How do engineering and its fundamentals become perceptible in the creation of ARTH.E pieces?
- It is observable in each piece, as we imperceptibly feel the triad: quality, durability, and functionality.
*Why do you present ARTH.E creations as collectible items?
- Each one follows the fundamentals of timeless value, the organic perpetuation of features in every creation, and a limited number of pieces.
Let's launch a final challenge: we ask you to choose a quote from a literary author that defines ARTH.E?
— I would choose the phrase from the writer Fernando Pessoa: "After all, the best way to travel is by feeling," a verse from one of his famous heteronyms, Álvaro de Campos.
And so, on a beautiful sunny afternoon, we conclude our brief and pleasant meeting. We thank you for your time and, surrounded by the beautiful creations of ARTH.E, we eagerly await the new collectible pieces.
