Living with Design: Lisbon’s Creative Ecosystem

To mark World Design Day, Ando Living and Lisbon Design Week host a conversation on how design shapes life in the city.

This conversation brings together leading voices from across the city’s design landscape to reflect on the current state of Lisbon’s creative community. From designers, artisans, and studios to institutions, brands, and independent initiatives, the discussion will map the key players shaping this evolving ecosystem.

Exploring both present dynamics and future potential, the session will examine opportunities for growth, collaboration, and internationalisation—positioning Lisbon as a fertile ground for experimentation and innovation in design.

The discussion will also touch on how design influences architecture, hospitality experiences, and the transformation of heritage spaces, particularly in a city like Lisbon where historic buildings are continuously reinterpreted through contemporary design.

There will also be an exclusive preview of Lisbon Design Week 2026.

Join us for an evening of conversation with some of the voices shaping Lisbon’s design landscape.
