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.
Cultura Para Todos em Vinhais
Project management, contents, training and graphic and editorial design. Cultura Para Todos em Vinhais is a project dedicated to promoting artistic and cultural practices in the Municipality of Vinhais, a remote region in Northeastern Portugal. Our intervention focuses on the wool cluster and includes training and education for local stakeholders, developing learning materials and registering traditional weaving patterns and techniques
Cabanas Lodging Services
Visual identity and website for a company operating in the hospitality sector.
Nova Type Foundry
Digital marketing and graphic design services for a Portuguese type foundry. Before we officially became partners, our relationship with Nova Type Foundry started by providing social media management, content development and graphic design services. You can read more about this project in our Journal.
ONEX.
Brand strategy and graphic design for a catering solutions provider. The challenge with ONEX (Onexperience Group) entailed simplifying how the brand is presented in different markets as well as developing a new identity and shared visual system to the seven companies composing the conglomerate. Find out how we created ONEX’s identity.
Ana Paula Almeida
Brand development and graphic design for a product designer and visual artist. The challenge started by analysing the client's ideas about a new brand for her artistic practice and product design projects. Next, we used the artist's name and created an identity based on typography and illustration. This new identity reflects craftsmanship values and the relationship between an industrial city and its surrounding mountains. Find out how we created Ana Paula Almeida’s identity.
Inovar.te
Graphic design, editorial design, strategy and creative direction. In this project, we supported one of the founders and editor-in-chief of Inovar.te in the relaunch of the first Innovation magazine in Portugal. Inovar.te has been absent from the market for more than ten years and is now planning for a comeback.
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.
Cordoa Sandals
Illustration for a brand of handmade sandals. The founder of Cordoa Sandals commissioned us with a series of illustrations for the brand's social media.
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.
Ana Rita de Albuquerque
Strategy, archive organisation, and graphic design for a visual artist. In this project, we supported Ana Rita de Albuquerque in her positioning as a visual artist and organising her archive. Subsequently, we developed her visual identity, having as a starting point her chosen medium, felted wool, and the entire visual universe where she moves. Read more about the artist in our Journal.
MANNA Food & Yoga
Strategy and graphic design for a restaurant in Porto serving specialty coffee, natural wines and vegetarian and vegan food. MANNA's strategic planning was done at a time of optimism amidst a tourism boom. Still, the stars tried to put everything we did to the test: the restaurant opened just two months before the beginning of the Pandemic. Three years later, it's still going strong. You can read more about Manna in our Journal.
Prata
Strategy and graphic design for a dancewear brand. This project started in 2019, and Ofício's team has, since then, supported the founder with consultancy in all components of the creation of the business, from design to creative direction, from supply-chain and production to finance. How we designed Prata’s visual identity.
Aliados Consulting
Over the last few years, we have supported Aliados Consulting, a strategic partner, in developing their website and preparing proposals for different incentive systems and Government grants in the fields of sustainability and circular economy.
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.
Lupa
Strategy for a homeware and illustration brand. The work with Lupa in 2013 was one of the first with the "brand" Ofício. Still, it was not the first or the last collaboration with the illustrator Maria Helena, who, eight years later, joined our team as art director and senior designer. In this project, we supported the brand with its strategy and in supplier identification and product development.
Roteiro Oficinal do Porto
Research and documentation on the productive ecosystem in Porto. ROP, a Saber Fazer project, began in November 2012 to map the specialised local labour and small-scale production units that currently work in the city.
