Chiado Factory not only stands as a concept store. It arises from the effort to produce an evolution in the concept itself, making it broader and innovative.

In addition to the concept stores, whose partners have been carefully selected to ensure a supply of excellence, Chiado Factory also has an office and training space for rental, that is similar to a business center. Apart from this, Chiado Factory has a space reserved for art, which reflects the effort of not only in boosting the culture and the projection of national artists, but fundamentally the desire to overthrow the stigma that art is something intended only for those who have a robust bank account.
