Bardo Creative Ground is more than a shop, more than an agency, more than a studio – it is a creative space. The Bardo is, in the same space, a communication agency, a magazine and design shop. The magazines are selected in order to focus mainly on interior design and architecture, and there are also music, business and lifestyle publications, as well as cookbooks. On the lower floor, there is the photography studio, for fashion and product productions. At the entrance, there is the showroom, with some design pieces on display. Preference is given to Portuguese pieces, although those from other countries are not set aside, as long as they meet sustainability requirements.
