Join us for a live conversation - Friday, April 17 at 19h. Our co-founder Sohail Coelho sits in conversation with UTIL founders, Tomás Carvalhas & Manuel Amaral Netto on the process of building a creative business in Lisbon. From the origin stories of the brand to navigating fear and sustaining motivation, we will dive deep into the art of building what you love. Studio Solín’s debut capsule, called In Pursuit, is a dedication to and a celebration of makers of Lisbon. The capsule is available for viewing with fitting slots available starting at 14h. Talk starts promptly at 19h. #lisbon #studiosolin #util #entrepreneur #menswear

Graphic designer Inês Maldonado has collected ephemera since childhood: boxes of envelopes, random postcards, pseudo-pinups, family photographs, varied bits and bygone bobs. Those forgotten yet meaningful bits of paper eventually inspired Papelaria Moderna, which stocks cards, notebooks, and objects made by small workshops preserving traditional techniques like letterpress, hand bookbinding, and engraving. Her home works the same way. Photos and notes are tucked into the corners of frames. Objects layer over other objects: plates beside books, crystals over CDs, woven baskets over paperbacks. A transparent box holds beach stones, shells, half a tarot deck, and a fortune cookie slip that reads “You are destined for the finer things in life.” This Catching Up With focuses on those objects — the things Inês has chosen to keep, display, and live with.

Meet the Plié Wall Unit — now in 45cm / 17,7in. Perfect for tight spaces, bedside storage, or clutter-prone corners. Crafted from folded laser-cut aluminum — lightweight yet strong. Choose from open, one tall drawer, or two short drawers (all soft-close and pre-assembled). Mount it with two screws using the wall bar, or place it freestanding. Four powder-coated finishes + brushed aluminum.

SELF ON THE SHELF A new series where we ask friends to bring objects that help define them. @isatoledo has spent January watching old episodes of hoarders, so decided to define herself by what she wants to get rid of. Unused perfumes, empty boxes, unplayed games and a pack of Himalayan salt. Isa chose the 75cm yellow Plié Single Shelf and 9 items from home that should be useful, but aren’t being used. All are “free” she said, “for anyone who wants them” at the UTIL showroom in Lisbon.
