Custom-designed furniture pieces in Austa further amplify the connection to local craftsmanship. Tables and stools, crafted by local artisans using stone and wood, pay homage to the rugged beauty of the Atlantic coast and the skilled hands that shape the region’s materials. The addition of Studio Gameiro’s own Alumina Chairs, made from brushed aluminum, introduces a modern counterpoint to the otherwise natural material palette, emphasizing a balance between tradition and contemporary design.

During their exploration of local crafts, Studio Gameiro discovered the region’s historic connection to copper, a material that has been used in the Algarve since Roman times. Inspired by the art of crafting copper cataplana pans, the studio designed a series of nine copper light pendants that hover above the long dining tables. These pendants, with their shell-like forms, create a warm, moody ambiance that adds to the restaurant’s inviting atmosphere while paying homage to the area’s metallurgical heritage.
