ABOUT

Old Portuguese Stuff is a blog about things we like in Portugal, most of which are obviously, old. But mainly made in a way that is either artisanal or the product of rudimentary, small scale industries that are now practically gone. May these images inspire you as much as they already inspire us in our design work.
Old Portuguese Stuff is written in English as a way to cross borders and allow as many people as possible to understand where these constructions come from. In any case, a good amount of what we post is unknown even to many Portuguese! We label buildings and things by type, subject and location, in a simple way to keep the content searchable and useful.
We will be updating both the blog and its inseparable companion, the Facebook page, daily. Please visit and let us know what you think, the project is starting and we love all the feedback!
