On the Grid : A Vida Portuguesa

"The neighborhood's crown jewel. After setting a few stores in Lisbon and Porto, A Vida Portuguesa arrived at Intendente with its “flagship” store as one of the first inhabitants of the reconversion. It's hard to define the place in words, since it features a world of vintage Portuguese visual history, so you can and should expect to lose inside its many rooms, but expect to see thousands of portuguese designed products from the early 20th century, reflecting older times when the country was proudly — and foolishly —isolated but also cherished and built brands confidently and with a passion. The graphic languages found here are a designer's fantasy and some of the most exquisite you'll find in Europe." - Nelson Vassalo
