An evolution in keeping with the times: dive into the new image of INFERCÔA.

The millennia-old stone that finds its place in modernity.

The CUPA STONE catalog is alive and constantly evolving, which means that each season we introduce trendy items while others are phased out. However, there is one natural stone that has always been there, the Portuguese slate Infercôa, sourced from our own quarries. It is a product with a long history that seemed lately to be confined to a classical aesthetic. It is time to change that, to give it a contemporary twist and to give Infercôa a new image, focusing on the “Ô” of modernity, innovation, and evolution.

Slate is a natural stone extracted from the banks of the Côa River, a tributary of the Douro. A unique mineral formed 500 million years ago, it has witnessed the evolution of Earth. Its veins and textures narrate the history of past eras. Its versatility makes it a modern and sophisticated option for contemporary projects. At CUPA STONE, we want to reinforce this idea and believed a campaign was necessary to achieve it. The main goal was to renew its image, moving away from the notion that it is an outdated product.

How did we do this? By being creative, with a revitalized brand, new formats, and updated documentation. We are leaving classicism behind to focus on the contemporary.

The aim? To break the existing, inspire, and suggest that tradition can be reinterpreted in a modern way. Because the classic can be an integral part of new times, right? Can’t Anthony Hopkins perfectly play the leading role in an indie film? Of course. And we bet he would win many awards with it.

From minimalist homes to innovative structures, this material offers a variety of applications that enhance the style and elegance of any environment.
