SOMA and Locky joined forces at Oeiras Marina, in an event hosted by Oeiras Viva, to celebrate the official launch of the SOMA Surf locker—a collaboration that beautifully combines art, sustainability, and social impact.

This special locker pays tribute to our work in São Tomé and Príncipe. Its vibrant design was created by our beneficiaries, who transformed their creativity and personal experiences into a lasting piece of public art.

The launch brought together key partners, including Francisco Travassos, CEO of Locky; Rui Daniel Mourinha, Chairman of Oeiras Viva; Zalinda Campilho, First Board Member of Oeiras Viva; Dário Cortes, Head of IT and Innovation; and, of course, our founder, Francisca Sequeira.
