Solène Parfums
A rebrand for a third-generation perfumer, built around a custom ligature and a palette borrowed from dusk at Praia do Guincho.
Est. 2018 — Lisbon · Porto · Remote
A small studio
making considered work
for patient clients.
Meridian & Vale is an independent practice of six, working across brand identity, editorial systems, and the occasional room. We take on a handful of projects each year and see them through, end to end.
Recent projects, chosen with care.
Távora Journal
A quarterly print journal on slow architecture. Two-column grid, a proprietary display cut, and twelve plates per issue.
Halden Coffee
Wayfinding and identity for a roastery and reading room in Graça. Painted ceramic, risograph menus, one good bench.
Clamor Records
A modular sleeve system for an experimental label. Forty releases, one grid, zero repeated covers.
Three movements, repeated patiently.
i. Research
We read, we walk the site, we talk to the people who will actually use the thing. Nothing is drawn in the first fortnight.
ii. Craft
Small, senior teams. Long iteration cycles. Type, material, and motion treated as equal partners, not afterthoughts.
iii. Release
We stay on after launch. Guidelines are living documents, and we'd rather adjust a system than hand over a dead PDF.
Partners, past and present.

worth taking time over?
We book one or two new engagements per quarter. Write with a few paragraphs about the work, the people, and the timeline — we read every note.
