𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 @vascofm Founder of Barracão, Vasco Fragoso Mendes has shaped his architectural studies within an international background. His works are imbued in materiality (mainly wood, paper, cork and metal), balanced against geometric and organic forms. There is a quiet resilience to the work, a commitment to pushing further that echoes a discipline nurtured well beyond the studio. 𝗔𝘁 𝗟𝗗𝗪‘𝟮𝟲 Inside the basement of The Lisbonaire, Vasco Fragoso Mendes opens a window into his world as an artist, designer and maker. The exhibition traces his creative evolution through drawings, sketches, prototypes and finished pieces. Visitors are invited to look closely, to touch, to notice. _____ Images Courtesy of the artist #LDW26 #LisbonDesignWeek #PortugalDesign #PortugueseDesign #Lisbon #Lisboa#Architecture #Interior #InteriorDesign#Product #ProductDesign #Furniture#FurnitureDesign #Textile #TextileDesign#HighCrafts #Handcrafts #Craftmanship#Ceramic #CeramicArt #ProductDaily#DailyProduct #CreativityMatters#WorldOfDesign

The Bend. Most of our work comes with an action, hence the naming. Honest materials and clear processes are the main key in this standing lamp exercise, made with bent metal sheet and charred Iroko. 160 x 20 x 20 cm Ph: @jgphoto.graphy

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 @vascofm at @thelisbonaire The Lisbonaire is a design-led residence housed in a renovated 1960s building, known for integrating Portuguese art, typography and architecture into everyday living. Extending this ethos below ground, its basement offers an intimate and atmospheric setting for exhibitions and cultural gatherings during Lisbon Design Week. 𝗔𝘁 𝗟𝗗𝗪‘𝟮𝟲 Framed by The Lisbonaire’s basement, Vasco Fragoso Mendes presents an exhibition that traces his evolution as an artist, designer and maker. The display brings together drawings, sketches, prototypes and finished pieces that reveal the process behind the practice. Encouraged to observe closely, visitors can engage with textures, construction details and subtle gestures that might otherwise remain unseen.

I promise it’s the last one with a Defender on it. At least until the next time they give me one again and I can play with it. In all seriousness, we take partnerships seriously. :) @defender @sollo.life @zepedroalvarez

Visited our 2024 project for @sollo.life . Not a bad place to go and disconnect. I didn’t disconnect, but I recommend it… Ph: @zepedroalvarez
