The concept store Villa Gaïa was founded by Linda Peixoto, a French-born woman with Portuguese-roots and a strong attachment to her parents' Lusitanian origins. In her store, Linda presents objects created by Portuguese craftspeople working with the highest quality of their respective material: wood, leather, cotton, wool or paper – the range of crafts and materials is wide with a common importance for traditional making, an environmentally friendly process and a rich connection to history and emotions. Walking into the concept store is like taking a short trip to Portugal, transporting you to a landscape of beaches, colourful towns and green plains.
