BRAND + ENVIRONMENT
LISBON
FOUR VENUES A YEAR
We draw identity and environment on the same table — for restaurants, hotels and wine bars that would rather the brand didn’t stop at the door.
No deck. We read your floor plan and tell you if we’re the wrong studio.

SELECTED WORK
01
LISBON · 2025
IDENTITY, SIGNAGE, ROOM
A former tile warehouse. We set the name into the floor before the tables arrived.
02
PORTO · 2025
IDENTITY, MENU, SIGNAGE
Eleven seats and nowhere to hang a sign, so the door became the sign.
03
SETÚBAL · 2024
WAYFINDING, ROOM
Four floors, one alphabet. Room numbers and letterhead cut from the same brass.
Hover a project to preview. Full case studies on request.
Three vendors’ worth of scope, one team, one invoice. Everything below is drawn by the two people you meet on the call.
DELIVERED AS
One spec book. Yours, not licensed.
01
Naming, wordmark, and the one mark that has to read at 8mm on a bill fold and at 8 metres on a fascia.
02
Menus, cards, coasters, bill folds — the parts of the brand a guest actually holds.
03
Fascia, wayfinding, hours plate. Drawn to fabrication spec, not handed over as a JPEG and wished well.
04
Art direction of the space: light, seating, surface, and what goes on the wall. Chosen alongside the identity, not after it.
05
A spec book your printer, fabricator and contractor can build from without calling us.
Name, mark, printed matter. Signed off before anything is ordered.
Fascia and wayfinding drawn to fabrication spec, while the identity is still moving.
Materials, light, seating, walls. Specified against the mark, not around it.
OPEN
Plinth is two designers and a short list of fabricators we’ve worked with for years. We’re small on purpose — we’d rather be in the room than manage someone who is.
WHO
Two designers. The people on the call are the people who draw. Nothing is subcontracted except fabrication.
WHERE
Lisbon. We work across Portugal and Spain, and we’re on site for install.
CAPACITY
Four venues a year. We turn down more than we take.
NOT FOR
Chains, franchises, and anyone who has already signed off the interior.

ENQUIRE
FEE
Fixed, not hourly. The number in the proposal is the number on the invoice.
SCHEDULE
Half at start, half at handover. No monthly retainer.
WHAT MOVES IT
Venue size and signage count. Nothing else changes the number.
TWENTY MINUTES · NO DECK
Twenty minutes, no deck. Bring the floor plan and the opening date — we’ll tell you which of the three depths fits, and whether we still have the slot.
