The “Pião das Nicas” (literally “Spinning Top for Precious Little Things”) is much more than a simple spinning top: it is a poetic decorative object celebrating memory and childhood. Transformed into a precious keepsake box, this unique piece invites you to store your intimate treasures — childhood memories, cherished objects, or sweet treats… your own personal “Proust madeleines.”

Entirely handcrafted in fine glazed stoneware, each spinning top is a one-of-a-kind artisanal creation. Its hand-turned wooden lid brings warmth and natural elegance, while the aluminum tip crowning the top adds a refined, contemporary touch.

A functional work of art, filled with nostalgia and Portuguese craftsmanship, perfect for a shelf, console, or coffee table.

About the Designers

Rute Rosa & Sérgio Vieira created an experimental design studio inspired by Portuguese stories and folk culture, reimagining traditional objects through a contemporary lens.

This project was born from the desire to tell stories through objects. Together, they combine Rute Rosa’s passion for ceramics with Sérgio Vieira’s natural talent for developing author-driven projects rooted in experimentation and innovation.
