From Porto, oitoemponto is an architecture and decoration agency that conquers the luxury market. They decorate custom homes, but see themselves as much more than interior designers. “We're like the priest in the confessional or the doctor and the lawyer: as soon as we meet people we have to put them at ease and tell them there's no point in hiding facts because the diagnosis will take much longer,” says Artur Miranda. The diagnosis is the kind of decoration they will propose, a gesture that always presupposes a close relationship with the clients: “Our métier has a lot to do with psychoanalysis”, adds Jacques Bec, the other half of oitoemponto.
