Workstation Design

supported by

WORKSTATION DESIGN supported by Jean Louis David makes its debut at MODALISBOA BASE as the reformulation of a historic platform of Associação ModaLisboa, presenting in three fashion shows ARNDES, Bárbara Atanásio, Çal Pfungst, Francisca Nabinho, Gabriel Silva Barros, and Mestre Studio.

In an industry in constant transformation, identifying talent is not enough: it is essential to create the conditions for authorial visions to mature and gain solidity. WORKSTATION DESIGN supported by Jean Louis David provides this framework, offering emerging Designers stage and structure (presentation venue, technical production, support teams, and hair styling by Jean Louis David professionals), amplifying the capacity of each collection to assert itself both as a creative proposal and as a professional project.

The project also includes the Empowerment Award, designed to support careers in their consolidation phase. This financial incentive contributes to the development of business models, to innovation, and to the affirmation of a consistent presence within the system. The selection takes into account conceptual maturity, responsibility in production, and growth potential. In October 2025, the awardees are ARNDES, Bárbara Atanásio, and Mestre Studio, three rising creators whose trajectory already points towards future internationalization.

WORKSTATION DESIGN supported by Jean Louis David thus establishes itself as a strategic instrument of valorization, a platform where authorship, innovation, and business thinking converge, projecting the future of a new generation of Designers and reinforcing their presence in a sector in constant transformation.
