Preenche Vazios (‘filling voids’) is a tiling workshop where the client can order custom panels, with patterns and phrases to his/her liking, as well as merchandising. It was born with the intention of filling the empty spaces on the façades of houses and buildings in the cities. The project intends to draw attention to the small details that surround us daily, and surprise passers-by with something they were not used to seeing during their journey, assigning small messages from Portuguese poets. Much more than an artistic intervention, the project intends to draw attention to the need to preserve the Portuguese tile heritage which has suffered a progressive loss of tiles in recent years.

The Essence of the Book is, as the name suggests, a bookshop. It was born from the owner’s passion for books and reading, and it is characterised by being an inviting, welcoming space, where customers can feel as if they were at home. For the owner, this is the factor that determines the return of customers to the shop. Open since 2021, the Essência do Livro offers the main novelties and launchings, but also promotes the sale of articles in outlet, which represents the possibility of finding excellent opportunities there. Not to be missed.
