Primeira Demão brings salvaged, reclaimed, and vintage materials
back into circulation through its Shop and Studio.
I'm Patrícia Barbosa. I'm an architect and craftswoman, and I work from my studio in Porto.
I repair, conserve and renew using manual and artisanal techniques.
I sell a selection of salvaged architectural elements (doors, windows, shutters, fittings), unique pieces of furniture and other decorative pieces.
I design to incorporate my salvaged pieces into new and unexpected contexts, creating distinctive spaces.
I take pleasure in reusing: something that has been discarded becomes useful, beautiful and valuable again. It's a process that celebrates the quality and durability of design and materials, as opposed to trends and mass production.
