Illustration By Francisco Ramos

Estaminé Studio

Based in Porto, Estaminé is a studio focused on papercraft, illustration and lettering.
Coordinated by André Santos, Estaminé Studio uses paper as its material of choice in the creation of 2D and 3D pieces.
We are passionate about handmade things. That's why, in 2016, we started our studio in Porto, where we create 2D and 3D pieces, commissioned or self-proposed, all handmade and unique or produced in very small quantities.
Without excluding music in our “workshop”, we treat paper with all the respect and enthusiasm in creating detailed and colorful pieces, having already worked for Barbearia Porto, Biscoiteria Paupério and Pilar Eventos, among others.
We also develop other types of projects, mainly of an independent and collaborative nature, such as the case of the fanzine “Not everything that glitters is Gold” and the game “The Village falls asleep”, launched in November 2017.
