LDW Highlights
During Lisbon Design Week 2026, Kokuga Flower Studio will host a collaborative exhibition at its studio in Graça, bringing together furniture, lighting, and florals in a dialogue of materials, structure, and perception.
The showcase will present new works by Zoé Wolker, Lucas Zito, and Kokuga Flower Studio, curated by interior designer Jason Lyn of Seres Interiors. The exhibition explores the tension between weight and lightness, organic and industrial materials, permanence and movement.
Zoé Wolker will present pieces from Ame Collection, extending architectural thinking into collectible design. Each work functions as a spatial element rather than a purely utilitarian object. Monolithic forms and controlled proportions interact with light and shadow, subtly shifting perception throughout the day. Produced in Portugal with specialized workshops, the collection highlights precise fabrication and refined finishes — brushed steel, polished lacquered MDF, and black cowhide leather — where material defines structure, weight, and presence.
Lucas Zito will showcase his Buoy collection. The name derives from “buoyancy,” the force that opposes gravity around an object immersed in liquid or gas — the principle of flotation. Like buoys at sea, these lights appear erected, floating, light yet weighted. Their extreme lightness demonstrates the possibility of creating large-scale objects while using minimal material. Through 3D printing, Zito maintains precise control over production, using only what is strictly necessary, reinforcing both efficiency and intention.
Kokuga Flower Studio will unveil a wall sculpture combining natural fibers and metal forms. The composition explores the contrast between organic matter and industrial framework, balancing softness and rigidity, fragility and strength.
Set within the intimate environment of Kokuga Flower Studio in Graça, visitors can expect an immersive spatial experience where furniture, light, and botanical form interact in a cohesive narrative shaped by texture, scale, and atmosphere.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to craftsmanship, material research, and interdisciplinary dialogue, positioning botanical art within the wider context of contemporary design.
Kokuga’s approach goes beyond traditional floristry. Each piece is treated as a spatial intervention — balancing texture, negative space, and unexpected botanical elements. The studio favors unique flowers and strong silhouettes, often drawing inspiration from architecture, contemporary art, and nature’s raw forms.
