Attitude 123: Intense

Living is synonymous with feeling intensely. Each space, each object and each work of art has the power to trigger emotions, provoke memories and transform the way we look at the world.
This edition – Intense – is an invitation to experience places that stimulate the senses, walls in homes that tell us stories, and forms of expression that transcend aesthetics and become sensory experiences. Amid the details that surround us, our journey for this edition included moments of profound synergies, which become a reflection of the passion, daring and identity of those who experience them.

Driven by curiosity and spirit of sharing, we have witnessed the inauguration of new spaces in the city of Porto that emphasise the presence and value of design, such as Consentino's most recent shop and the Minotti Flagship Store; we also went to see the work of STUDIØ 27, which brings together fashion, design and cuisine in a blend of sensations, which you can discover in our Meet section.

Our Portfolio section also features the work of Hannes Peer who, during his visit to Porto as part of his partnership with Minotti, shared with us his story and his approach to architectural language and design. His unique energy and intensity can be felt in his words, vision and conceptualisation are reflected in the projects he designs, such as Casa Ortello in Milan, featured in the Interiors section (page 124).

We bring you new looks that translate vibrations, atmospheres where textures, light and shapes are celebrated with zest. We travelled through spaces that elevate us, that we want to touch, and where every detail has its own narrative and invites us to immerse ourselves. And what makes a place truly intense? That's what we encourage you to discover in the following pages.
