The Fugas Lusas is a delicacies shop that would also work as a cafe and Architects by extrastudio. It is located in Setubal, Portugal. The unique space with extraordinary interior and architecture is the main concept for this building. The construction works started with the opening of a large shop window, exposing the café to the square, as a preview for a future terrace.
New shelves were carved on the thick exterior walls to display a wide range of products. The bar, clad with typical Portuguese ceramic tiles, divides the working areas from the public space. In the ceiling, laser cut plywood panels, duplicate the pattern used on the counter tiled walls.
The furniture is composed by a set of used hardwood chairs from the old assembly room of Setubal’s Fish Industry Union, together with tables with marble tops from Alentejo.
