Tom. Jorge Silva

In Portuguese, softcover, 244 x 336 x 22 mm, 256 pages. January 2021, Skyscrapers

Within a context of the history of Portuguese design, Tom emerges as a close author, whose work is known, which leads, by abusive transposition of the part to the whole, to take him as a known author. This book-catalogue helps to dismantle this fallacy - Thomaz de Mello's work is immense and widely diversified, it has been successively reinvented over time and, moreover, it is pulverized, given the absence of an expressive collection that brings it together and an institution that welcomes it.
