Halfstudio is the shared creative identity of Portuguese designers Cláudia Amorim and Sérgio Leitão, a couple who merge architecture, typography and bold colour into murals, objects and screen prints that pulse with urban optimism. Both born in the late 1980s and trained at Lisbon’s Faculty of Architecture, they met while painting stage sets for music festivals and soon discovered a mutual fascination with scale, signage and the emotional power of flat colour. In 2015 they founded Halfstudio as a vehicle for collaborative experimentation, choosing the name to signal that every project is only half finished until public interaction completes it.

Their process begins in the studio with precise vector drawings that distort letterforms into rhythmic ribbons. These shapes are then enlarged by hand onto building façades using rollers and brushes, allowing slight drips and texture to soften the geometry and to root digital clarity in human touch. The palette is unapologetically upbeat: tangerine, turquoise and bubble-gum pink collide in gradients that seem to vibrate against white masonry, transforming quiet alleys into open-air colour fields.

Clients such as Nike, Underdogs Gallery and the City of Lisbon have commissioned walls, window displays and limited-edition prints, yet the duo still volunteers for neighbourhood festivals, teaching children to paint giant initials that spell out local hopes. Living and working in Almada, across the river from Lisbon, Cláudia and Sérgio continue to treat every surface as a chance to exchange architectural rigor for contagious joy, proving that two imaginations can add up to far more than one.
