"This elegant, faded city is a refreshingly slow and non- commercial context for the international design jet set to descend upon. The second best thing about Experimenta is the programme of independently curated exhibitions. What distinguishes it from every other design week around the world - where designers simply show off their latest stuff - is the aspiration to be thematic rather then just novelty-mongering."
Justin McGuirk, in ICON, November 2009
"In 10 years the Experimenta Design Biennale has grown into one of the important international design events and this year s edition, which took place last weekend in Lisbon, offered a line-up of top design thinkers and design makers. Four days of programme were as laid back as the Portuguese way of life in the daytime, when late morning debates were followed by afternoon key lectures. As soon as night fell the scene became vibrant and crowds all around the city gathered to celebrate exhibition openings and parties throughout the night."

"En Lisboa, la cuestión es el tiempo y no el dinero
Experimenta 09 celebra su décimo aniversario en Lisboa. La bienal se traduce en exposiciones, conferencias y mesas redondas, que serpentean por los lugares más sorprendentes y bellos de la ciudad. Desde el palacio Braancamp -una joya de principios del XIX oculta detrás de un patio ajardinado en medio del Barrio alto- hasta el moderno Teatro Camões, construido a orillas del Tajo para la Expo del 98."
Nerea Pérez de Las Heras, in El País, 01-10-2009
"[ExperimentaDesign] Todo un referente del diseño más rompedor e iconoclasta desde su primera edición en 1999. (...) Esto es, aquel programa transversal de exposiciones, conferencias y mesas redondas que es capaz de poner sobre la mesa antes que nadie aquellos temas que estaban por cuestionarse en el mundo del diseño. (...) En la próxima y muy holandesa edición, entre el 18 de septiembre y el 2 de noviembre, en Experimenta Design el diseño del paisaje urbano será el tema en torno al que gire esta primera convocatoria internacional. Tratándose de Holanda, un país en eterna lucha con el paisaje, el tema no podía ser más acertado."
in El Pais (Espanha), 17 Junho 2008
"The most recent European design biennale is getting worldwide recognition thanks to the extreme professionalism of its organisers and conceivers. (.) As only regular event in the field of design theoretical reflection and practical projects, Experimenta already plays an essential role in finding new forms of repositioning the design culture as a strategic point of leverage between economic capability and cultural identity."
in Modem - The International Design Reference Guide (Paris), 2003
"In this way Moura Guedes has succeeded, with the help of the European Union, the Portuguese Cultural Ministry and the Lord Mayor of Lisbon, not to mention financial support from companies such as Renault, Canon and JC Decaux, in establishing something like a private design center. It is completely independent and promotes domestic design both culturally and in business terms. In short:It does exactly what the 16 design centers in Germany do. With one key difference: It is a lot more successful."
in Form (Germany), Jan/Feb 2004
"(...) Avec une présentation irréprochable et un titre ambitieux qui la justifie 'Au-delà de la consommation' (...) en proposant une vision culturelle du design. À la fois montrer le design par expositions inédites et débattre par des conférences. Promouvoir le design portugais tout en s'ouvrant à d'autres pays, (..) s'adresser, enfin, aussi bien aux spécialistes du design, qu'aux étudiants et au grand public."
in Art Press, Dec 2003
"Experimentadesign - the only event of its kind to question the significance of design itself - asked how designers can contribute to a society less consumed by consumerism."
in Frame, Jan/Feb 2004
"Portugal has a number of surprises in store - and the country definitely has more to offer than the European Soccer Championships. There is ample talent and commitment for it to emerge as a design giant.
in Form, Jan/Feb 2004
"Experimenta vale per avere offerto tempi e luoghi di discussione, per avere posto degli interrogativi, sollecitando risposte, per avere affrontato il design 'oltre il consumo'."
