Casa da Arquitectura welcomes Semfim: a new space dedicated to sustainability and the memory of objects
Semfim stands out for the recovery and revaluation of used pieces, carefully selected, repaired, and prepared to continue their stories. Each object finds its own place, carrying the identity of a past that projects into the present. The process goes beyond repair — it reimagines, highlighting the value of imperfections and promoting the continuity of material memory.
Among the available objects are ceramics, furniture, technology, toys, and books — pieces that cross generations and preserve narratives, rescued from potential oblivion to become part of new contexts of use.
With this initiative, Semfim positions itself as an agent of cultural and environmental regeneration, reinforcing the idea that every object deserves a second chance. The project’s guiding motto — “Repair the world, one object at a time” — encapsulates its commitment to a more responsible and conscious future.
Casa da Arquitectura invites the public to discover this new space, where design meets sustainability and where the memory of objects extends into new forms of life.
