The first door we knocked on was Bordalo Pinheiro’s, and they were up to challenge of bringing back to production their ceramic swallows, as an exclusive to be sold at A Vida Portuguesa. All over the country, the brave suppliers that kept the Portuguese manufacture going, would soon open their archives to us: drawers filled sometimes century-old creativity, that deserved a new lease of life. The ideas started flooding in and we found ourselves with a brand. In Ach. Brito and Confiança we discovered discontinued but exquisite labels that required only a dust off, Viarco reedited for us old pencil boxes, with Emílio Braga we created a line of colorful notebooks and with Serrote we developed charming shelf borders. When the Portuguese Republic became a hundred years old we created a whole, commemorative line. And in October 2015, the final step: we created our own Design Office to pursue the most thrilling of our adventures.
