JOÃO PRATA · CREATOR & MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGNER
I develop ideas across disciplines.
I’m João Prata, a creator and multidisciplinary designer based in Lisbon. My work spans physical products, technology, digital platforms and independent research. My main professional focus is BUBTEX, a water-technology project built around patented surface engineering.
My wider work explores how we make things, use technology and relate to one another through design, writing and experimentation.
THE THROUGH-LINE
Making difficult ideas tangible.
I often develop several parts of a project together: its concept, its physical product or digital experience, its identity and how it could be used. My work moves between practical development, prototypes, writing and independent experiments.
My work through TANTRA LTD ranges from physical inventions and digital platforms to writing and philosophical inquiry.
This portfolio presents the professional side of that work, with an emphasis on technology, product development and selected research.
