Diving into Livraria Lello’s more than one hundred years of history, heritage, culture, and family, to create an editorial experience that immerses the public into the world and soul of this iconic Portuguese institution.

Livraria Lello was founded by an audacious dreamer who wanted to contribute to a more cultured world, with more readers and more books. His dream has lived on through the decades with many who have been part of the bookstore’s journey: booksellers, writers, intellectuals, artists, patrons, and curious minds that wandered into the magnificent building.

We captured Livraria Lello’s determination and optimism in a large format editorial book. We filled its pages with captivating imagery, vibrant fluorescent colours, and full-bleed photographs and illustrations to narrate the rich history of the most famous library in the world.
