BORING

STUDIO

A holistic design practice. Crafting singular systems – from identity to interior – moving powerful ideas from concept to execution.

We offer multidisciplinary design and direction across the following domains. Our work combines creative exploration with technical execution, ensuring outcomes are both well-considered and ready to implement.

Brand & Visual Identity

Naming, brand systems, visual languages, packaging, and communications.

Retail & Interior Design

Spatial concept development, layouts, finishes, furnishing, and signage for retail, hospitality, and hybrid spaces.

Product & Object Design

Custom furniture, lighting, and tactile brand assets. We work with local manufacturers and advanced processes.

Creative Direction & Advisory

Foundational concept work and brand articulation during early or transitional phases—often in close collaboration with founders and investors.

Who We Are

BORING STUDIO is a multidisciplinary design practice based in Lisbon (Cascais), Portugal. The name "BORING" fuses our surnames BOTTI + HERING and carries a deliberate irony: Our work is anything but.

Our Principles

Integrated Thinking

We connect disciplines early—so that brand, product, and space evolve together, not in isolation.

Founder Proximity

We work closely with decision-makers, often functioning as an embedded creative partner.

Scalability & Longevity

Design systems are created with scale, adaptability, and operational clarity in mind.

Our BORING Brain

We don't blindly execute, we collaborate – Only together we can correctly comprehend, adapt and complement, becoming holistic and perspicacious.

We connect ideas to outcomes. Below are select examples of how our services translate into tangible, meaningful results for our clients.
