Studio

Seven people and a long table.

A second floor in Lisbon's old docks, where every name, mark and box we make is drawn, printed and handled.

The people

Seven of us, one table.

Everyone on a project is in the room from the first call to the press check. Nobody is handed to a junior team.

What we hold to

Four habits, every job.

  1. 01

    Show it on the object.

    We never present a mark on a slide. Every route is printed, folded and handed round the table.

  2. 02

    Say less on the pack.

    A buyer gives a box two seconds. We spend them on one name and one colour, and move the rest to the back.

  3. 03

    Stand at the press.

    Someone from the studio is there for the first run of everything we design, with the printer, until it is right.

  4. 04

    Make it last.

    We choose materials that age well and boxes people keep, because a kept box keeps the name in the kitchen.

Who we work for

Makers, mostly small, mostly nearby.

Names in full colour have a case study.

Come and see the table.

Visits are on Thursdays. Tell us what you make and we will put the kettle on.
