“The 1970s mark both the starting point and the return of this residence in Restelo, the most coveted neighborhood in the Portuguese capital.
The seventies soul of the architecture was also an aesthetic and almost moral imperative that the interior designers did not want to lose, evident in some details on the first floor or in the bedrooms, adorned with unexpected pinks and yellows, geometric carpets, and the free forms of the headboards and always striking wallpapers.”
“Michael Miranda and his studio Ding Dong are part of the new wave of Portuguese decor.
In each of the rooms, he reflected his obsession with natural materials, something fundamental in his projects, with Travertine floors, solid woods, silk wallpaper, and wool rugs. The result is a house that respects its 1950s spirit, thanks to the colors, mostly pastels, and a mix of iconic pieces, his own designs, with unexpected and slightly kitsch touches.”
“Long gone are the times when a five-star hotel had to be classical to be successful. Just ask the rebellious The Editory Boulevard Aliados.”
“Michael Miranda and his Ding Dong studio are part of the new wave of Portuguese decoration. Their house in Porto, fifties-inspired, refined, and colorful, sums up their expertise.
In each room, he reflected his obsession with natural materials, a fundamental aspect of his projects, with Travertine floors, lacquered woods, silk wallpapers, and wool carpets. The result is a house that respects its 1950s spirit, thanks to the mostly pastel colors and a mix of iconic pieces, his own designs, and unexpected touches with a hint of kitsch.”
