Piratas do Pau

Piratas do Pau is the Mozambican brand of creative studio Abdesign which combines the design and production of unique products with skills development and job creation of young Mozambican craftsman and artisans. Piratas do Pau designs and makes hand-made products using local and modern techniques and locally sourced materials often recycled while providing young Mozambicans with training, a fair living, and access to more opportunities. PDP designs and develops it’s own lines of unique furniture, lamps and other products for the Mozambican market. We also offer the service of custom-made design for special projects and interior design.

They have an equipped workshop for woodwork and metalwork where we employ 12 craftsmen and 3 support personnel to produce their products of quality.  In the coming years, PDP aims to set up satellite workshops around Mozambique run by ex-students to give these youngsters the options to develop their skills further and train other young people. In 2014 Piratas do Pau joined forces with AHD (NGO with expertise in vocational training and socio-economic reintegration) and a vocational training centre located in Maputo. This partnership creates a unique training & social business model in which training and production join forces to create a sustainable synergy!
