Tiles, Old House Faz Frio, Lisboa

2018 Replicas and Reproductions

Reproduction of 1.600 tiles to place on the walls of the Antiga Casa Faz Frio* (Old House Faz Frio), one restaurant, in the centre of Lisboa, which benefited from restoring works, accordingly to the original design.

* A restaurant over 100 years old, which has been in time a hiding place for "clandestine" political talks. It is divided in small rooms, separated with wood walls without door, but "reserved". Amidst the white walls of the larger room begins a panel of antique tiles, now reproduced, and the wood wrap-around cabinets have glass windows. On the walls there are black and white pictures of traditional professions: fish sellers, grinders, washerwomen.
