About us.

Founded in 2016, ICON serves as a meeting place for talented artists and those who value their work. With a carefully curated selection of over 60 artists, we offer a diverse range of unique pieces, from Ceramics to Jewelry, Woodwork to Drawing. Maria Manuel Lacerda, the curator, visits artists' studios to select distinctive works, ensuring a constantly evolving and immersive experience for visitors. In late 2022, ICON expanded, adding a space for exhibitions, further enhancing its commitment to promoting Portuguese artists. Maria Manuel meticulously selects modern craftsmen, establishing close connections with artisans to nurture meaningful relationships with both them and their craft. There is a deep understanding of the origin of each object, demonstrating an appreciation for handcrafted and exceptional objects. ICON highlights pieces that evoke a connection with your emotions and are meant to be treasured, contributing to the timeless tradition of passing beloved items through generations within families.

ICON is not just a store; it's a space that goes beyond exhibition and sale, hosting events like pop-up workshops and exhibitions, providing an opportunity for artists to showcase their work live. The store's commitment to promoting Portuguese artists is evident in its harmonious and inviting atmosphere, making it a go-to destination for those seeking decorative objects, unique gifts, and an immersive experience in the world of arts and design.
