Projects

Over the years, we have supported many clients and managed education, research, strategy and design projects in varied creative fields.

A common denominator across all of our projects, is our passion to create value through deep dedication to art, creativity, sustainability and responsible production.

Where does your food come from?

We brought our community together at Saber Fazer for one conversation around food politics, agro-ecology and education. This event was part of TY-CO, an initiative built around the ABR Festival community, with activities and events running year-round in Nicosia (Cyprus), Porto and Lisbon. TY-CO is funded by the Creative Europe Programme from the European Commission. Read more about this subject in our journal

Strategic design and visual identity for a new bookshop and specialty coffee shop catering for children, young adults and families. We designed the business strategy (marketing strategy, retail strategy, food & catering, interiors) and provided strategic support in all stages of the process, from planning to opening. Later in the project, Estúdio Ofício, our design practice, designed the visual identity and visual system. Read more about this case in our Journal

Hakko House

Mentoring and strategic support to rethink the restaurant and bakery business model. We helped Tiago rethink his Hakko House, a small cafe and restaurant in the heart of Bombarda, Porto’s Art District. After four working sessions, Tiago immediately introduced small improvements to the restaurant. The most visible was a total reshuffle of the restaurant layout, finding more seating space, bringing the bar to the front, and opening the massive window to the street. It took just a few days for the once almost invisible cafe to transform the end of Rua do Rosario into a vibrant spot. You can read about this project in this post in our Journal.
