The studio

Rua das Flores 28, Lisbon
Est. 2014
A small studio with a long memory.
We started Vitrine to make the kind of work we wanted to see on gallery walls, shop shelves and city streets. Twelve years later, we still print the first proof.
The studio on Rua das Flores, a former bookbindery we share with a letterpress workshop.
What we hold on to
Print the first proof
Every identity is printed before anyone sees it on a screen. Paper shows the truth about a typeface in seconds.
One idea per wall
If a project needs two ideas, it needs two projects. We say no to the second idea more often than to the first.
Stay for the first print run
We don’t hand over a PDF and leave. We stand next to the press, the sign-fitter and the developer until it’s real.
