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.
UNICEPE
New website and graphic design for UNICEPE, a cooperative bookstore and cultural space founded in 1963 in Porto. Read more about this case in our Journal
Zumbido Books & Coffee
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
Otília Flowers
Strategy for an exceptional florist in the centre of Porto. In this project, we supported Otília Fowers in a planning process to reopen its iconic store in the Quarteirão de Miguel Bombarda. In the project, we rethought the store's entire operation and optimised the offering considering its different audiences.
Rosa Malva
Strategy and digital marketing. Our intervention at Rosa Malva aimed to reposition the brand in its more traditional markets, redefine the value-chain, develop new products and implement a DTC (direct-to-consumer) strategy
Sust.co
Strategy, web design, graphic design and photography for a new marketplace. Sust.co is a platform dedicated to the universe of design, art and craft, topics that are naturally very close to our hearts. In this project, we supported the company by defining its business model and planning for its market entry. We also developed the entire visual identity of the brand.
Bardo Creative Ground
Strategy for a creative studio. Bardo is an agency dedicated to communication in the design world. This project resulted in restructuring the business cost structure, separating the business areas (communication services and retail) and redefining its strategic positioning in this competitive market.
Grampa
Strategy and graphic design for a store in Central Porto. Our client asked us to help her with planning for the upcoming years of a family's historical business right next to the renovated Bolhão Market. Keeping the textile theme of the company, the department store will now welcome a new universe dedicated to national manufacture. Get to know Grampa’s visual identity.
CRU Creative Hub
Strategy and graphic design for Porto’s first coworking space and Creative Hub. Our work led to a revolution at Cru Creative Hub, with a complete redefinition of physical spaces, the creation of new services, including a bar and audio and photography studios, and also rethinking the international positioning of the company. Find out how we created CRU’s identity.
The Seed
Graphic design for a “hybrid and flexible business” that spreads across several areas, from strategic consulting to retail and product development. We developed an equally flexible visual identity. Find out how we made The Seed’s identity.
Saber Fazer
Editorial design and visual identity for our sibling project. Naturally, our intervention and connection to Saber Fazer is deeper than simple graphic design. However, with so many materials produced throughout the year, this is probably the most visible element of this relationship.
M AAH (Belgium)
Sourcing for an arts and crafts shop in Antwerp. In this project, we accompanied M AAH on a tour of artists, artisans and small producers and oriented some of their visits to Portugal on their own. As a result, you can find some products from our network of partners and collaborators in the M AAH store.
L Garcia (USA/ Spain)
Sourcing and identification of suppliers both for a store to open in Catalonia and an already established design practice interiors in the US. Throughout 2019 and 2020, we carried out a prospective study and accompanied our client on a tour of artisans and small-scale producers.
Maria Amélia
Strategy for an arts and crafts online shop. Mariaamelia's founders asked us for help to rethink the entire business model and positioning of the brand in the market. In the project, we rethought the whole business model and defined an action plan for the following years.
Craftmanship+ (Porto/ UE)
Project management and proposal preparation for an Erasmus+ project. The idea for the project came from Ofício/Saber Fazer, an application prepared with the consultancy Advancis Business Services, Aveiro University and a consortium of organisations from different countries. Started in 2015, Craftsmanship+ focused on knowledge transmission processes in the craft sector, both in terms of teaching techniques and in management and entrepreneurship processes.
Velo Culture
Strategy, marketing and graphic design for a pioneering project in the Matosinhos Fish Market. Founded in 2011, Velo Culture is a reference brand in everything that respects cycling as a means of transport and a more discerning way of being in road and travel cycling.
