P 06® is a Lisbon-based design studio, founded by Nuno Gusmão with Estela Estanislau, Pedro Anjos (the creative directors) and Catarina Carreira (the financial director) in 2006.
Since then, we have undertaken a wide range of projects where we worked on wayfinding systems, visual identities, editorial, interior and product design, exhibitions, public installations, etc.
Today we define what we do as ‘environmental graphic design’ — a multidisciplinary field in which those disciplines are combined to enhance the user experience in the built environment.
Between Portuguese and international clients, cultural and commercial brands, the common characteristic of our work is our holistic & experimentalist approach.
We face every project with no defined borders. We like to play with materials, colours and type — a bold, striking style that has attracted many clients and garnered a number of distinctions.
We also work in a collaborative way with other disciplines, such as architecture, engineering, art and multimedia, which give us freedom to experiment unique solutions that add value to the project.
Besides responding to the specific needs of each client, our mission is, through design, create memorable experiences that connect people to places.

P7 Bridge Experience
“P 06 stands out for its commitment, professionalism and creativity: so well reflected in the P7 Experience. This interactive attraction is truly a unique way for visitors to discover the 25 de Abril Bridge. Firstly, the journey through its construction history and then taking the lift up to a panoramic viewpoint that provides a exceptional view over Lisbon and the River Tagus.”
Vitor Costa, director of Turismo de Lisboa & president of ERT Lisboa
Cidade do Futebol
“The building was not yet finished and there was no longer any doubt that P 06’s work had added a lot of quality to the project, adding ‘domesticating’ features in the architecture that allowed it to ‘speak’ directly and easily to users. The process, however, was just as important as the final result: pure enjoyment, from the first day to the last, which left us wanting to continue ‘talking’ for a long time!”
Tomás Salgado, architect & general coordinator of Risco
Burel Factory
“Unlimited creativity, talent, passion, art and innovation define the daily life of P 06’s Nuno Gusmão. As the words defining the Burel Factory’s daily life are almost the same, forming a working relationship with P 06 studio was easy from the very start; and that relationship is now in its 7th year”.
Isabel Costa e João Tomás, owners of Burel Factory
Mora Megalithic Museum
“We were delighted to collaborate with P 06 studio. Sharing the ideas, involvement and discovery in building a narrative on the theme of megalithism was a huge challenge. P 06 showed creativity, ability, professionalism and camaraderie that made our trips to Mora a fun time for conversation and learning.”
Cristina Veríssimo e Diogo Burnay, from CVDB Associated Architects
Skin
“A science centre should arouse curiosity and wonder and, in the Knowledge Pavilion, this happens as soon as visitors enter the Foyer: — Wow! And we never get tired of telling the story of this ‘Skin’ that has brought both admiration and awards. It is our foyer of art and science, the stage for a thousand initiatives but which also likes to be admired in silence, as a cathedral of knowledge.”
Rosália Vargas, president of Ciência Viva & director of The Pavilion of Knowledge
A good project is all about a good idea. If it is well integrated into the space, the intervention and the place should work as one.
We are P 06 studio.
We design to last.
