Get to know the furniture brands and designers that are 100% Portuguese and presenting at Lisbon Design Week 2024.
TONI GRILO
These brands unite traditional Portuguese craftsmanship with contemporary design. Our main sponsor, De La Espada, is one of the best representatives of this category. Their solar-powered atelier near Porto specialises in solid wood craft and upholstery. They will show a new art & Craft cabinet system at OJO gallery. Among the key designers from Porto, we are lucky to welcome again Toni Grilo whose outdoor installation last year has been one of the highlights of our first edition. For this 2d edition, Toni Grilo is presenting a solo show with a series of new pieces shown for the first time at the exhibition space Coletivo 284.
BRANCA
WEWOOD
In this group, we also include Branca, the brand created by renowned Portuguese designer Marco Sousa Santos. This year, Marco will present in his beautiful showroom in Saldanha, some new series as well as a new table by architect Manuel Aires Mateus. One of the highlights in our program this year is the new showroom of Wewood, a Portuguese brand founded in 2012, by the second generation of owners of a traditional solid wood factory . An exciting time for the owners who open their second flagship shop in Lisbon after the one in Porto. For this “Lisbon Store Preview” they will exhibit recently launched products as well as some icons from their collection from designers like Gonçalo Campos and Christian Haas both based in Portugal.
PORVENTURA

Now one of his daughters, Ines Cottinelli is reissuing some of his classic pieces that can be found in this beautiful studio.Finally, the stunning tea shop Companhia Portugueza do Chá housed in an old shoe store from 1880, is hosting Fernando Távora furniture reedited by João Martins.
