Mateus Opens an Archive Exhibition in Stockholm
Mateus, the Swedish ceramics brand founded in 1993 by Teresa Mateus Lundahl, is opening a short-run archive exhibition at Konst Gallery in Stockholm from today, 27 May, through to 30 May. Open daily 12.00–18.00, the show brings together more than 30 objects from across the brand’s 33-year history, pieces that have not been widely seen before and which trace the development of the brand from its origins in colourful Portuguese craft meeting Scandinavian restraint.
“The exhibition offers a glimpse into Mateus’s creative universe and our archive. We’re showing older objects and products from earlier years – ones that still deserve to be experienced,” says Teresa Mateus Lundahl.
Each piece in the exhibition is handmade and hand-painted by craftspeople in Portugal, where the brand’s production still takes place today. The show functions as a visual timeline, not of product launches, but of a design sensibility that has evolved in layers while remaining consistent in its core idea: that objects should be built upon rather than replaced.
The exhibition runs 27–30 May, 12.00–18.00, at Konst Gallery, Rörstrandsgatan 28, Stockholm.
