Exploring Lisbon and its geometric patterns

Posted by Emma Green on June 08, 2016

Here at Quirkybee we love exploring new cities and countries, especially when they are known for bright colour and design.

Recently we visited the picture perfect city of Lisbon, with its pretty cobbled streets, tiled walls and heavenly pastries.

We loved the range of colourful tiled houses, known locally as azelejos, every other house was beautifully decorated in various colours, from blue and white to pretty pastels.

For those that like to venture off the beaten track, a trip to the LX factory is well worth a visit. This old factory site on the outskirts of the city has been turned into a trendy shopping and restaurant strip with vintage shops, book shops and amazing chocolate cake at Landeau.

This is the perfect city to visit if you love design, history and food. Quirkybee gathered a good dose of inspiration for more colourful fabric designs.
