The piece is making its international debut across the Atlantic, showcased in the stores of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Having started on January 8 until March 10, the sea urchin, a symbol of Ericeira, will be available at the Soho and 53rd Street locations, right across from the Museum of Modern Art, bringing the creativity of Portuguese design to the city that never sleeps, as Frank <em>S<\/em>inatra famously sang.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>this sea urchin represents the memory of unique moments<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a milestone for \u201cA Vida Portuguesa\u201d, with the uNi Sea Urchin \u2014 created by Paulo Reis \u2014 standing as one of the emblematic pieces of an exhibition that highlights the best of Portuguese design. The items, which will be available for purchase, have been carefully selected and approved by MoMA curators, who are also responsible for the museum\u2019s exhibitions, ensuring that each piece reflects the excellence and authenticity of national design.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who has encountered these spiny and rugged spheres knows how unforgettable they are for those who \u201cget stung\u201d: there are 950 species of sea urchins in all the world\u2019s oceans and depths \u2014 from the coastline to 5,000 meters below sea level. It is, therefore, a living being as universal as it is local.<\/p>\n<p>This one, in particular, is 100% Portuguese. Made of wood and crafted by hand, the uNi represents the memory of unique moments spent in our country, with its intense flavours and a relaxed, fraternal sense of togetherness.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericeiramag.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2ourico-moma-e1736276995931.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60650 colorbox-60730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ericeiramag.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2ourico-moma-e1736276995931.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"992\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition to being available at the physical stores in New York, the uNi Sea Urchin is also available for online purchase, allowing more people around the globe to appreciate and acquire this iconic piece from Ericeira.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>a design piece as universal as it is local<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE COLLECTION AND STORE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The MoMA Design Store has the exclusive debut of \u201cA Vida Portuguesa\u201d in the United States.
