The setting
It's our vision for Tendue to be a space that evokes an appreciation for the moment, inspires creative thoughts, and connects our community. Set in the historic Ford Building, SE Portland's contemporary mixed-use office/artist hub that formerly produced Ford vehicles, Tendue is designed to eloquently blend Parisian-inspired textures and tones with this historical industrial setting to create an award-winning space that's both inviting and compelling. This fully furnished space has the capability to flex and create the perfect setting for hosting photoshoots, small & mid-sized groups, workshops, or most anything else.
