They have all disappeared and, in recent years, have been reborn as mythical birds that rise with even more glamorous feathers. EXAME took a tour of some of the Portuguese brands that returned to the market stronger.

Olaio is one of the brands featured in the article "The new life of Made In Portugal" by Exame magazine, which took a journey through some of the Portuguese brands that returned to the market stronger, more consistent and with a legacy to defend and take further.

From socks (nothing banal) to furniture, clothing and shoes to jewelry, candles and ceramics to leisure objects. New arrivals or classics. More than 100 very Portuguese Christmas presents.

A home decorated only with Portuguese brands. And OLAIO is among them! It is an exhibition which includes several workshops and other initiatives. From November 18th to January 8th.

Casa Portuguesa is an Architecture project from Paz Braga Arquitetura, with interior decoration from Espaço Santo Infante. The challenge was to decorate the apartment only with Portuguese brands, from the furniture (including Olaio) to the lighting, passing through all the decoration pieces. It’s the proof that it is possible to decorate an entire home with only national items. Photo by Rodrigo Cardoso.

"Olaio: Continues to write the future. A story told in several acts, made up of perseverance, meeting of wills. And a lot of talent."

"The resilient OLAIO. Innovation, vision and talent have always walk together." Olaio highlighted in the magazine Et Cetera of Jornal Económico.
