Studio

Rumpus (n.) a noisy commotion. We make it for festivals, labels and small brands, from a print room on Rua do Almada.

(01)What we believe

That loud is not the same as big. A festival with no budget, a label with no shop window and an atelier with nine coats all deserve work that stops people in the street. We make it with paper, ink and a camera, and we make it ourselves.

(02)How we work

Everything starts on the wall, not the screen: prints, contact sheets, swatches, pinned up and moved around until the idea holds. Then it goes to the press. We shoot in our own studio and print in our own print room, so the people who had the idea are the people pulling the sheets.
