COMMUNITY
PHOENIX FROM THE FLAMES Back in August 2018, many Monchique residents lost everything; their livelihoods, animals, their homes and businesses with the devastating fires that swept across the area. Monchique Living Legacy focuses on the many trees that were either destroyed or burnt across the hundreds of hectares of land. Monchique Living Legacy works directly with Monchique residents with their fallen and burnt trees which have scarred the land. The trees, typically Oak, Carrob and Acacia have been scared from the ferocious fires, yet rather than ruin the wood, the wood has taken on a new character, a fire DNA if you
like impregnated by the ferocity of the fire and smoke. Rather than to tarnish and spoil the wood, it’s actually given a beautiful addition to these majestic trees. When you take a fallen tree, the inner beauty is there for all to behold. The blackened veins have become a "phoenix from the flames" moment and rather than mourn the tree, we can now rejoice the beauty that this devastating fire has had a lasting effect on these timeless trees.
producing beautiful organic wooden majestic pieces which are lovingly brought back to life. Every product produced is from Monchique trees that have suffered at the hands of the fires and we craft these beautiful majestic trees into useable everyday sculptures from chopping boards, tables, shelving, cheese boards to commissioned objects of art. Each and every time a product is sold, 15% of the proceeds go to the Monchique residents.
Each and every piece of wood has a purpose and at Monchique Living Legacy we use craftsmanship techniques in
