Intimate fair of high-end Portuguese design furniture & crafts
LISBON by DESIGN is an annual intimate fair highlighting a curated array of high-end contemporary collectible craft and design crafted in Portugal.
The primary aim is to present exceptional pieces, many of which are specially commissioned for the fair or making their debut appearance, captivating and inspiring collectors, art consultants, interior designers, real estate developers, and a broader audience of aficionados of beautiful objects and design.
The inaugural edition was launched in 2021, followed by two successful editions in 2022 and 2023, all held in the intimate and exclusive setting of the Gomes Freire Palace in the heart of Lisbon.
Taking place in May concurrently with Arco Lisbon, a significant and well-attended International Contemporary Art Fair, LISBON by DESIGN offers a unique opportunity for engagement with cutting-edge made in Portugal design and high craft.
In 2023, the fair expanded its reach across the city by inaugurating the first Lisbon Design Week, a collaborative project with From My City, featuring 50 creative events centered around craft and design.
