At the bottom of the shop comes the studio, in the form of a house, conceptually a habitacle that symbolizes the traditional form of home, the House of those who design houses. A space that reflects our essence, a minimal, conceptual and current space. We want to bring people to our world and this is where we create, gather, develop ideas and projects and invite friends to have coffee and enter our home. After all, it was for this that Mário and José returned to their origins, to revive forgotten habits from when they left for Guarda and Oporto . It was this academic and professional collection that allowed us to create Covo.

The goal of opening a store was to bring together the atelier and the objects we advocated. It's not hard to understand the design, but it helps if people see us behind the computer, uncomplicating the tangible. The store is the space to make the type of design that pleases us most. Individual, exceptional projects that breathe the place and the time. Time is this luxury, this peaceful in count, the partimonia of feeling, of inspiring the place before creating.

Our store shows all these strands of design. Efficiency and ergonomics, conjugated with objects that contemplate sustainability, manual production. Exclusive pieces, designed by us and produced in the best factories of Paços de Ferreira, our associates.
