La Dolce Vita | Astolfi x +351

In mid-2024, architect and designer Joana Astolfi joined forces with Lisbon-based lifestyle brand +351 to launch La Dolce Vita—a limited-edition capsule collection that blends Astolfi’s poetic storytelling with +351’s surf-inspired, sustainable ethos.

This unisex collection features eight essential pieces made from organic cotton, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, pants, a jacket, a tote bag, socks, and a cap—all crafted entirely in Portugal. The collection’s crisp cream and bold steel-blue palette provides a fresh backdrop for whimsical symbols: dancing couples, ice cream cones, lemons, seashells, paper planes, lips, and playful swimmers. These elements represent the small pleasures of summer and mirror Astolfi’s personal universe.

“The little icons and symbols… all arose naturally as allegories of travel, adventure, that dolce vita which reflects me and my way of thinking,” says Astolfi.

Infused with a “work hard, play hard” spirit, the collection captures a carefree yet thoughtful energy. It brings together +351’s cool, conscious identity and Astolfi’s distinctive artistic language—marked by geometry, color, and memory.
