Red Carnation Magnet: The Symbol of Portuguese Freedom

A Poetic and Historical Emblem

More than just a decorative object, this magnet celebrates one of the most powerful and beautiful moments in Portugal’s history: the Carnation Revolution (April 25, 1974). By choosing this red carnation, you are displaying far more than a flower on your refrigerator or any metallic surface; you are showcasing a symbol of peace, courage, and liberty. This vibrant visual captures the natural elegance of the flower that, placed in the muzzles of soldiers' rifles, changed the destiny of a nation without shedding a drop of blood.

The Authenticity of Portuguese Craftsmanship

Directly sourced from the house of Edições 19 de Abril, this magnet is the result of meticulous graphic work paying tribute to Lusitanian heritage. The illustration, rendered with remarkable precision, highlights the serrated petals and the brilliant red of the carnation, contrasting beautifully with the tender green of its stem. Every detail is designed to evoke the fervor of Lisbon's streets in celebration and the pride of a people.

Quality Built to Last

It is essential to understand that this is no ordinary magnet like those found in generic souvenir shops. It is a piece of technical and decorative stationery, designed as a true collector's item. Every stage of its manufacture has been rigorously supervised to meet premium quality standards. It has been crafted with robust materials to guarantee exceptional longevity, capable of enduring through the years without losing its beauty or functionality—a lasting witness to your attachment to Portuguese culture.

One of the major assets of this object lies in its High-Quality Finish. The surface is not merely printed; it features a specialized protection—a cutting-edge technical lamination that preserves the deep red glow of the carnation. This protective layer doesn't just magnify the colors with vibrant depth; it also resists scratches and daily wear. Whether it's repeated handling, kitchen humidity, or light exposure, nothing alters the finesse of its design. The touch is silky, almost velvety, confirming from the very first contact that this is a high-end product.

Excellence in Detail: More Than Just a Souvenir Magnet

The technicality continues on the reverse side with a perfectly calibrated Magnetic Strength. We have selected a high-density magnetic backing that offers the ideal grip. Unlike low-end magnets that slide under the weight of a single sheet of paper, this one provides a firm and secure hold. It is designed to be the guardian of your memories, capable of holding your notes, precious travel photos, or grocery lists with style and efficiency on any metallic surface, from your fridge to an office locker.

Finally, aesthetics have not been sacrificed for technique, thanks to its Elegant Format. We have worked on a precise cut and a silhouette that fits perfectly into any kitchen, from the most rustic to the most contemporary. Its size is studied to be striking enough to catch the eye while remaining discreet enough not to clutter your space. It is a full-fledged decorative element, bringing a touch of color and history to your daily life.
