After 4 successful editions in Lisbon, in 2008 ExperimentaDesign entered a new stage. It now takes place in two European capitals – Lisbon and Amsterdam – with different programmes in alternating years.

In September 2008, ExperimentaDesign makes a comeback with an exciting and innovating programme. In the Netherlands, starting on 18 Sep, the first edition of the Biennale in Amsterdam takes place under the theme Space & Place.
In Portugal, Experimentadesign Lisboa 2009 Warm-up kicks off on 5 Sep, a new curtain raiser that anticipates the forthcoming edition of the Biennale in the Portuguese capital.

Periodically, you will receive news and updates on ExperimentaDesign’s programme.
