The story begins in the early 40’s of the twentieth century with Irmãos Moucheira – enterprise that extracted and transformed lioz (limestone) and marble. From the 80’s on, the extraction continues by the name of Moucheira Mármores e Cantarias. Formas de Pedra is founded in 2008 with the goal of continuing the marble extraction although with a different understanding of the activity, in what related to the products and management of the raw material, for instance. Valuing all marble is an omnipresent objective that regulates and commands every project.

of stone.

Initially, alongside the extraction process, Formas de Pedra focused on creating new uses for marble, namely the production of tableware objects. It also developed a study for a new cladding solution, Veinstone, exploring bas-relief inspired by the raw material’s natural patterns.
 
Today, its mission is to reclaim and use marble consciously, adding value through circularity concepts. It stands out for its distinctive and innovative approach to transforming and using this singular, ever-changing raw material.
