A Bica do Sapato marked Lisbon in the 2000s, founded by Manuel Reis and Fernando Fernandes (with John Malkovich among the first shareholders). With Fernando's support, the new team maintains a continuity: it is not a museum, but the soul remains. The Portuguese spirit and creative synergies guide this phase — visible in the uniforms of Constança Entrudo, the curtains of Maria Appleton, and the pieces of Daciano da Costa.

architecture
The architectural project of Bica reveals the hand of Francisco Tojal, with consultancy from Manuel Aires Mateus. His intervention at Bica balances the memory of the space with a contemporary vision: it is an architecture that does not impose but supports. In a dialogue between heritage and modernity, the structural elements, the plane, and the light converge to assert a discreet yet firm presence.

design
At Bica, design combines architecture and signature pieces for a coherent and tactile experience: Bica and Cuba tables by Marco Sousa Santos (Branca Lisboa), the Aires Mateus Table in the Cube (walnut), Cutipol cutlery, and Sagres beer tap. The room gains substance with the Alvor Chair by Daciano da Costa, the Molde tableware by Felipe Alarcão, and the lighting by Joana Forjaz; the curtains/textile installations by Maria Appleton and the uniforms by Constança Entrudo unite gesture and identity.
