Primeira Demão brings salvaged, reclaimed, and vintage materials,
back into circulation through its Shop and Studio.
I'm Patrícia Barbosa. I'm an architect, decorator and craftswoman, and I work from my studio in Porto.
Primeira Demão is my passion project. 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.
As a craftswoman, I select the materials and pieces that I repair, conserve and renew using manual and artisanal techniques.
As a sales woman, I offer salvaged architectural elements (doors, windows, shutters, fittings), unique pieces of furniture and other decorative pieces.
As an architect, interior designer or decorator, I incorporate the salvaged pieces and materials into new and unexpected contexts to create distinctive spaces.
