About Grandmothers' Homes
Portuguese grandmothers' homes of the 70s and 80s had a distinctive aesthetic: solid wood furniture, lace tablecloths, painted porcelain in display cabinets, cuckoo clocks on the wall, black and white photographs, and the unmistakable smell of cake in the oven. This affective memory is the main inspiration for A Pharmácia da Avó — every detail of the space seeks to recreate that feeling of warmth and belonging.
