Research, curating and book publishing on art and craft made in Portugal

A GRANDE FEIRA

LISBON DESIGN WEEK 2026 · 27 – 31 MAY

For Lisbon Design Week 2026, I am presenting A GRANDE FEIRA — an exhibition bringing together around 60 artists who were part of five years of fairs held in my studio in Campo de Ourique — and launching O LIVRO DAS FEIRAS, a lasting record of this collective story.

Interwoven

EXHIBITION · SEPTEMBER 2026

INTERWOVEN is a collaborative exhibition between Portuguese and Belgian designers, developed over two years of meetings and residencies in Vila Viçosa. Pieces created together, where techniques, materials and cultures interweave — with Alentejo as backdrop.

The exhibition will be shown again near Lisbon in September.

COLEÇÕES 2
ANTÓNIO CARMELO AIRES

The book COLEÇÕES 2 – ANTÓNIO CARMELO AIRES presents one of the most interesting private collections of Portuguese folk art today. Born in Redondo, Alentejo, Carmelo Aires began collecting at a young age, showing interest in various types of objects. However, it was the material culture of his homeland that captivated him most, leading him to assemble a remarkable collection of Redondo pottery, pastoral art and traditional kitchen utensils.

Portuguese Houses With History

This book pays homage to a memory, a Portuguese way of being and a cultural identity that is disappearing with the massification of design, objects and furniture. We hope it raises awareness to what we feel is most valuable about these homes: that heritage is precious, that it is part of our history and must be preserved.

Studio visits

In constant evolution, the studio presents a selection of pieces available for sale. Visits by appointment.
