Fusion Interior Design reopens its doors to the public with a new store in Cascais
Founded in 2007 (where Nicolau now stands), Fusion Interior Design reopened its doors to the public in Cascais in mid-June. Since the pandemic, the architecture and interior design firm had operated solely from an atelier and showroom in the town. "At the time, we were juggling many projects and had long wanted to focus on just an atelier. But Portugal and Cascais are buzzing right now, so it made perfect sense to reconnect with the public", the company's founders, designers Maria Ana Noronha and Teresa Matos Correia, told Time Out. They're now joined by Teresa Lopes Ferreira, who leads the new store. 'We had many clients who would visit us and say they were sorry we had closed the shop. Often, someone wants to do a project but ends up just buying a piece – a chair or a lamp. We missed that closeness, that contact with people. Being closed for four years in our little bubble really showed us that', they add. Now housed in a fully renovated former barbecue joint – done by the team themselves, naturally – the new space showcases furniture, lamps, ceramics, cushions, lampshades, rugs, fabrics and wallpapers. There are pieces from international brands like Élitis, Pierre Frey and James Malone, alongside Portuguese labels such as Bárbara Osório fabrics, traditional Menezes blankets, Pladec wall coverings, and rugs from Ferreira de Sá and Sugo. In the 100-square-metre shop – complete with a corner dedicated to all things made in Portugal – you'll also find pieces designed by Fusion Interior Design for their own projects. Think the Book lamp, created for the boutique hotel Dream Guincho; the Fantasma shelves for Joaquim Chaves Saúde; or the Ouriço lamp made for the M'ar Puro Hotel in Ericeira. Since day one, the company has maintained a strong focus on sustainable, eco-friendly design and on championing Portuguese talent. 'We value national talent, working closely with Portuguese artists, artisans and suppliers, helping to promote what's made in Portugal. Many of our pieces are designed in-house, always with a focus on bespoke design that aims to reflect the unique identity of each person and each space', they explain. The new shop also features a private studio space, where the designers can meet with clients and work on their projects – an intimate, tucked-away room designed to spark creativity and encourage the free flow of ideas. As the company is very much centred around the work developed by its founders, they admit they don't have overly ambitious plans for the future. An expansion of Fusion Interior Design isn't currently on the table, but they're open to the idea of running pop-ups in other parts of the country. 'Last year, we did a pop-up in Tavira – it was a really fun adventure. That's not to say we wouldn't consider doing the same elsewhere in Portugal'.

Jesse Eisenberg calls Emma Stone his 'fairy godmother' after Film Independent Spirit Awards 2025 win
Jesse Eisenberg called actress Emma Stone his "fairy godmother" during his acceptance speech for best screenplay at the 2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards, said The Hollywood Reporter. The Social Network actor won the best screenplay award for his film The Real Pain, which starred him and Kieran Kulkin in the lead roles. Emma Stone jointly produced it. At Santa Monica in California on Saturday, the actor said: "I met Emma when we were in Zombieland together in 2009 and since then — I write little magazine articles and little things on McSweeney's, and she's the only person, I'm including my mom here, who would take little screenshots of it over the last 15 years and send me things like, 'This is such a funny line!'" "She was, definitely still [is], the most famous person I know, and yet also the most dedicated to encouraging me as a writer. I think about her not as my producer, but like a fairy godmother, that I am riding the coattails of her goodwill. And I think it's so important that somebody like her, who is so unbelievably successful in all these mainstream movies, people like me and Julio [Torres], and Jane [Schoenbrun], to try to produce art movies with all the goodwill that she's amassed so brightly and observably over the last couple of years. Thanks, Emma." Stone produced the film alongside Eisenberg, Jennifer Semler, Ali Herting, Dave McCary, and Ewa Puszczynska. Eisenberg mentioned Torres and Schoenbrun because Stone produced their projects Fantasma and Problemista, and ' I Saw The TV Glow', respectively, which were also nominated at the Spirit Awards. A Real Pain was also nominated in the best supporting actor category for Kieran Culkin, who plays Eisenberg's cousin in the film. The film was nominated in the best screenplay category alongside Heretic, My Old Ass, A Different Man, and I Saw the TV Glow. Eisenberg is also nominated for best original screenplay at the upcoming 97th Academy Awards.
