Studio Maria Negrão is a Lisbon interior design studio offering full interior design, bespoke furniture design, and creative direction for homes, hospitality and retail spaces.

Every space we design begins with one question: what do you want people to feel when they walk in? From a complete renovation to a single bespoke piece, we design spaces and objects that are unmistakably yours.

Our interior design projects range from focused room transformations to complete renovations and new builds. We work with clients who value craftsmanship, attention to detail, and design that lasts.

◆Interior Design

I
Understanding the project
We begin with a conversation — sometimes an hour, sometimes several — to understand the space, the client’s needs, and what the project needs to support over time.

II
Concept & direction
From there, we develop the initial ideas through spatial layouts, references, and material direction, defining the overall atmosphere and approach.

III
Design Development
The project is refined in detail, from drawings to materials and bespoke elements, ensuring that every decision contributes to a coherent whole.

IV
Production and implementation
We coordinate production, sourcing, and installation, working with trusted partners and craftsmen to ensure the project is executed with care and consistency.

◆ Bespoke Furniture

I
Initial conversation
Tell us what you are looking to create: a piece for a space, a specific function, or an idea you would like to explore. We begin by understanding context, scale, and intention.

II
Design Development
We translate the brief into form, proportion, and material direction. This stage defines the character of the piece and how it relates to the space it belongs to.

III
Proposal & refinement
We present drawings, materials, and a cost estimate. The design is refined together until it is fully resolved before production begins.

◆ Creative Direction

We shape the look and feel of hotels, stores and other commercial spaces, from the first concept to the finished interior. That means defining the atmosphere and material language, designing the spaces and bespoke pieces that carry it, and coordinating production with Portuguese craftsmen so the result is consistent in every detail. Based in Lisbon, we work with hospitality and retail clients in Portugal and internationally.

IV
Made in Portugal
Each piece is produced by hand in Portugal, in collaboration with craftsmen we work with closely. We oversee production, finishing, and installation to ensure a precise and consistent result.
