Team

Miguel Pamplona

Founder

  • Miguel studied lutherie at Academia Nacional de Luthiers with Daniel Garfo (Delfina Guitars) and guitar tech at Clínica da Guitarra with João Oliveira (Roidz Guitars), specialising in bass guitars.

    As a luthier, his practice explores the aesthetic of things through material encounters, relationships and tensions.

    Miguel creates from a process of analysis, transformation, and replacement of things.

    He solves design conflicts with precise minimalistic means, exploring the point where things become something else.

Nuno Oliveira

Assistant

  • Nuno is a multi-instrumentalist and also studied lutherie at ANL and guitar tech at Clínica da Guitarra, specialising in guitars.

    He followed Miguel into the business and has helped create and grow the workshop from the beginning.

João Freitas

Apprentice

  • Taking advantage of his skills as a designer and bass player, João started his relationship with Silvan by testing our theories and creations as a consultant.

    He upgraded to apprentice, finished his guitar tech instruction with Silvan and is currently undergoing formation in luthiery.
