Tree Panel
Innovation Category: Technology and Sustainability

The Amarelo Negrais Tree Panel project, developed by Dimpomar for the Igreja da Charneca de Caparica and conceived by architect Sara Trindade, stands out as an innovative example of the application of natural stone in religious spaces. With an artistic tree design executed in Amarelo Negrais stone, the panel evidences the Portuguese industry’s capacity to create customised solutions that combine functionality, symbolism and aesthetic expression.
This project demonstrates the versatility of Portuguese natural stone, not only through the technique used, but also through the conceptual approach that crosses religious tradition with contemporary art. The work valorises the national lithic heritage, showing how this can be adapted to different cultural and decorative contexts, reinforcing the role of stone as a medium for artistic and spiritual communication.
