Since 2005, Jorge Moita created and developed a studio and a production system based in the Women´s Jail of Tires, Portugal.
The project gained immediate international, and inside the Minister of Justice, recognition and profile, giving birth to a range of high-end ethos products, developed in a low-tech environment,
and making evidence of the challenges designers, companies and society can experience in the turn of the Century.
The project provided a social eco, far behind bars, from the workers to other Jails and into the community of design,and made possible projects that ranged from commissions to pieces and complete collections on special request.

Laga Bag _ Time Out
Fabrica Features
Apesar de existir há oito anos, é provável que ainda haja muita gente que nunca entrou nesta loja. É normal. Está “escondida” no último piso do edifício Benetton, lá bem no alto, em pleno Chiado. Mas porque nunca é tarde para conhecer novos espaços, e porque este até acaba de sofrer uma renovação, está na hora de visitar a Fabrica Features.
