About Portugal

Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe, having its borders set since

the 12th century. With enormous historical and cultural heritage, Portugal has

experienced important developments from its origin to the present.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, the portuguese discoveries were responsible for

the creation of the largest commercial maritime country, having become one

of the greatest political and economic powers, an undertaking that ensured

important advances in technology, cartography and astronomy as well as in

wood shipbuilding.

The talent of its people was not only in the past. Nowadays Portugal has new

acclaimed brands, architects like Álvaro Siza, football players like Cristiano

Ronaldo or fadistas who honor the fame of Amália Rodrigues, like Mariza, or

artists like Joana Vasconcelos.

These are marks of contemporaneity that shape the contours of the current

history of this country.

Portugal is also a safe country with excellent infrastructure and a stable political

environment, with a secure tax system offering good conditions for foreign

investment, which has managed to attract large multinational companies.

‘FAKE is a scream for authenticity disguised as

provocation’.

The name is striking and bold, capable of

capturing all attention, but also a paradox that

challenges expectations and highlights the

brand’s true essence: Authenticity.

In a world where the boundaries between ‘real’

and ‘fake’ are constantly being redefined, we

believe that true luxury lies in creativity and the

boldness to break conventional design norms. At

FAKE – Art & Design, ‘fake’ is not just a play on

words; it is a celebration of creative freedom.

It’s a form of reverse communication, a symbol

that, within the ordinary, we dare to be exceptional.

We guarantee that every piece holds a story, a

soul, a manifestation of excellence and

craftsmanship, combining traditional techniques

with technological innovation to ensure greater

sustainability and durability.

FAKE’s mission is to innovate, provoke, and inspire.

A brand made for true design enthusiasts, the

irreverent, and those who live for design and art.

Mainguilty was born from the bold vision of

transforming furniture into a form of art, where

each piece balances functionality with an

artistic and provocative character. Founded during

the pandemic, the brand emerges as a response

to the introspection of that period, revealing

themes of duality and contrasts. The concept

of guilt and innocence—explored in bold and

delicate forms—reflects an introspective view

of design, celebrating human complexity through

furniture that is more than just objects; they

are living artworks.

With the slogan The Artistic Heritage, Mainguilty

honors the artistic roots of its founder, Carlos Mello,

who grew up under the influence of his father, t

he renowned sculptor J. Carlos. This sculptural

heritage, imbued with meaning and emotion,

permeates every creation of Mainguilty, which

stands out by challenging the boundaries between

art and design.
