This year's Lisbon by Design features design pieces, craftworks and collaborative installations made in Portugal exclusively for the design fair, which is hosted in the city's Gomes Freire Palace.
Now in its fourth edition, the annual event showcases furniture, lighting and decorative objects as solo and collaborative installations in a series of rooms.
Lisbon by Design founder Julie de Halleux explained that the 24 exhibitors created exclusive pieces for the show, which is open to the public from 23 to 26 May, and some worked together to exhibit complementary works side by side in the same room.
Alan Louis's contribution to the fair included a light shade with hanging strands of porcelain
"Everything is made in Portugal, and, moreover, everything has been created unique and specifically for the fair and their allocated space," De Halleux told Dezeen. "Focused on contemporary interpretations of Portuguese heritage, as well as the deep-rooted connection to tradition and nature, visitors can expect to immerse in an assorted collection of techniques and perspectives."
Designer Alan Louis, who hails from Brittany but now resides in Portugal, created a range of furniture and lighting with graphic shapes made from ceramic.
