LISBON DESIGN WEEK 2024
De La Espada returned to Lisbon Design Week this year, as both the main sponsor and an exhibitor.
Running from 22 - 26 May 2024, the second annual Lisbon Design Week was a celebration of Portuguese creativity and craft with a curated programme of product launches, open studios, exhibitions, workshops, masterclasses, presentations, talks, and more across the city.
DE LA ESPADA AT OJO GALLERY
De La Espada presents the new Arts & Crafts cabinet system by De La Espada Atelier.
The new cabinet system, which fuses the skills of artists and craftsmen from various disciplines, is exhibited at OJO Gallery, a Lisbon art gallery with a focus on contemporary art made using ancient techniques.
The cabinet is exhibited with a single-edition textile art panel by Catarina Riccabona, and is presented in dialogue with a selection of artworks specially created for the exhibition by Porto-based French artist Victor Marqué, under the curation of Marie de Carvalho, owner of OJO gallery.
The exhibition was featured on Monocle Radio with an interview with De La Espada co-founder Luis De Oliveira. It was also included in Lisbon Design Week highlights in publications including TL magazine, AD Spain, and Manera.
The exhibition remains open throughout the summer.
