Before the advent of electric light, these small, simple shelves could be found in many Portuguese households. Back then, they had a more whimsical design and served an important purpose: they held an oil lamp that illuminated the room. PAPAGAIO brings this product type into the present day—with geometric shapes, bold colors, and a consistently simple design, the small wall console pays homage to its roots. You can assign it your own new purpose: a pedestal for the little things in the house that deserve a special place, a spot for keys, little notes, jewelry, or a watch, or a place for a vase of flowers, a candle, or a portable lamp.

Available in either oiled pine or glazed in bold natural colors, with jagged edges, rounded corners, or straight lines. All handcrafted in Portugal.

Products and ideas that make origin visible and are full of Portuguese stories: Founded in 2005 by Álbio Nascimento and Kathi Stertzig, THE HOME PROJECT (THP) is a Lisbon-based studio that works with great sensitivity to materials and depth of craftsmanship. At its core is the principle of "design with origin" - designs that translate traditional Portuguese techniques, local materials and the cultural identity of a place into contemporary products, concepts and spaces.

THP sees design as a mediator and creates platforms and networks that promote communication and knowledge. Through close cooperation with craft businesses, museums and cultural institutions, works are created that combine sensuality, beauty, functionality and a sense of responsibility. At the same time, they are rooted both materially and culturally.
