Oitoemponto
Wed, 9 Dec 2009A reader named Pedro emailed us recently with a link to his favourite interior design duo. Oitoemponto is a firm based in Portugal created by Artur Miranda (who formerly had a career in the fashion world) and a couple years later was joined by Parisian Jacques Bec. Their work is bold and full of striking elements. These guys are gutsy, and can deck out a room in hollywood regency or mid-century modern styles fabulously. Thanks Pedro!!

Cinematic: I get a very post-noir vibe from a lot of these interiors. I love the sweep of color that seems characteristic, which sets the work squarely mid-century, as does the furniture arrangement. It's the occasional modern touches that seem off-base -- the flowers stuffed into a too-large vase in the vintage goldenrod office, for instance.
I just had a thought about what I want to try to achieve when I work on my own interiors from this post. It is so important to think of a multitude of ways that you and a guest can find the space renewed each day (without changing a thing). These pictures show how many sight lines, textures, shapes, etc. have been included to make this space seem fresh every day.
Epiphany pour moi!
How inspiring! I need to take a cue and learn to be a bit more bold in my decorating choices...I am so nervous!
I really like the confidence and individuality of these rooms. Strong and fun!
How individual and dramatic each room is - amazing - and, apart from the red bathroom, not overpowering at all! I really love the pink feathered screen in the living room and bright yellow feature chairs used in a kitchen and an office. Thanks for the colourful inspiration.
Does anyone know what the Casala styled chairs are in the last photo on the left?
Soory, wrong post. It should be the one above :)
Love the blue and white - gorgeous!
