One of Portugal’s most original contemporary design studios, Studio Vasco Fragoso Mendes, has expanded its portfolio with a new series of handcrafted pieces — from dining tables to chairs and lighting.

Founded in Lisbon by architect, designer, and craftsman Vasco Fragoso Mendes, the studio is known for its experimental approach, strong material sensibility, and deep respect for wood. Inspired by Japanese joinery and sustainable craft, Vasco often works with leftover materials and pairs wood with cork, paper, iron, and other unexpected elements.

The new pieces include:

• Corcho Lounge Chair — a sculptural chair in cork and cork agglomerate, celebrating a uniquely Portuguese material.
• Void Dining Table — French oak with live edges, exploring presence and absence.
• WH Dining Table — an organic top balancing on a geometric base.

All works can be viewed on the Studio’s website, Instagram, or by appointment at the Lisbon “Barracão” workshop and showroom.
