LDW Highlights

During Lisbon Design Week 2026, Santa Clara 1728 opens its doors to present a curated exhibition of Malga ceramic, inviting visitors to experience contemporary Portuguese ceramics within the intimate atmosphere of a historic Lisbon home. The exhibition showcases handcrafted ceramic pieces by Malga, exploring the relationship between material, form, and everyday ritual. Rooted in traditional techniques yet interpreted through a contemporary design language, Malga’s work reflects a quiet dialogue between craft heritage and modern living. Each piece carries subtle traces of the handmade process, celebrating imperfection, tactility, and the beauty of use over time.

Rather than a conventional gallery display, the ceramics are integrated throughout Santa Clara 1728 — on tables, shelves, and in everyday settings. Visitors are invited to move slowly through the space, discovering how objects inhabit a home, interact with light and architecture, and contribute to a sense of calm and presence.

During the Week, the restaurant Solo invites guests to linger and enjoy a light lunch menu, presented on the ceramics displayed in the exhibition. Solo is open from Tuesday to Saturday, 12:30–15:30, offering a unique opportunity to combine contemporary ceramics with a relaxed culinary experience.
