Held from May 22 to 26, 2025, Lisbon Design Week surprised, inspired, and confirmed once again that the city is becoming one of the most vibrant design hubs in Europe.

The Lisbon Design Week 2025 edition introduced fresh talents, revived traditional techniques with a modern twist, and opened the doors to new hybrid spaces where design meets sustainability, technology, and storytelling.
From international debuts to local breakthroughs, here's a look at the highlights that defined this year’s event.

Luso Collective

• Perspective & Matter by Luso Collective
  Originally envisioned as a space for designers to connect, Luso Collective was built on the idea of shared values, mutual curiosity, and equal interest in each other’s ideas and practices. At its heart lies a commitment to personal connection and genuine dialogue. For this second edition, their aim is clear: to deepen the sense of community and foster ongoing exchange, inspiration, and mutual support. This mission is more than just a statement — it translates into a tangible, intimate experience, one that invites discovery and leaves a lasting impression.

Barbara T.A.B. Portailler and Valentina Pilia & Emma Pucci, founders of Flores Studio

• Flores Studio came back to their original space in Praça das Flores and shines a light on its core expertise: the use of fabric and natural fiber in furniture design, a heartful tribute to the artisans with whom the studio collaborates closely. After relocating to a new studio surrounded by a lush tropical garden, this vibrant environment became a central source of inspiration and a reconforting shelter from an uncertain world situation. The space hosts the work of Indian photographer Shahid Datawala who photographed in black and white two emblematic cinemas from the 1940’s, one in India and one in Portugal. In dialogue with his architectural work of photography, Jahnvi Lakhota Nandan, perfumer at The Perfume Library, composed six fragrances that express an imaginary ballet performed at the Liberty theatre in 1947 and Palmela in 1952.

• At Locke de Santa Joana:
  
  - AB+AC unveiled Alma Mater—the first collectible series for mindfulness, where raw iron and beeswax transform into vessels of ritual and reflection. Debuting the first two pieces of the series in Lisbon - the city that has nurtured us over the years - makes this moment especially meaningful.
  
  - The CRAFT HEADS exhibition by Loulé Criativo, a challenge posed to 50 designers from Loulé’s creative community who were asked to develop a lid that went beyond its utilitarian function and took on a facet of personification, transfiguring a pot with a classic silhouette.
  
  -  TERRAKOTA launched Disforme, one of the pieces from DisFunction collection that was created especially for LDW. This is the liberation of ceramics from its original function; the form that refuses to serve.
  
  - A six-meter outdoor tapestry projected by Mariana Ralo in collaboration with NAVITA® and FLOWCO®️.
