The highly creative duo behind Oitoemponto blends fashion, design, and Portuguese culture—all with a hint of French Touch.

Sommaire

Now more than ever, Portugal is leading the charge when it comes to contemporary art. The country has started exporting its talented citizens, who are proving successful throughout the world. From design and fashion to sculpture and interior architecture, this country produces a number of stylists who maintain close ties to local artists. From Lisbon to Porto, their works are stamped with both local culture and a decidedly modern approach to decor.

Works of art that blend fashion and design

Oitoemponto is one such success story. Founded in 1993, the company features the perfect blend of two complementary approaches. Artur Miranda stands out for his willingness to break with tradition through unexpected combinations while also cultivating his innate penchant for colour. Jacques Bec, for his part, brings enthusiasm and a refreshing French Touch to the duo.

Eclectic and timeless ambiances

Together, the two designers create beautiful decorating schemes for clients who love a chic and quirky look. The final result is one of a kind—simultaneously refined, eminently liveable, joyful, beautifully lit, and timeless. The crowning achievement of every project is the delicate, joyous, and incredibly sophisticated feel it emanates—one that also happens to reflect the sensibilities of the landscapers who founded the company.
