ARCOmadrid 2026 launches a new call for the design of the Guest Lounge
ARCOmadrid, in collaboration with the Leading Brands of Spain Forum (FMRE) and AD España Magazine, ARCOmadrid is launching a call for architects, designers, interior designers and other creative professionals to design the Guest Lounge for the 45th edition of the fair, which will take place from 4 - 8 March 2026.
The Guest Lounge at ARCOmadrid is an iconic space devised as a meeting point for art, design and innovation. It is redesigned each year to welcome national and international guests, collectors and sector professionals.
Applications can be submitted until 5 September. A specialised panel will evaluate the candidates’ profiles to select three finalists, who will each receive a fee of 1,500 euros to develop their proposals. The deliberations will take place in October, with the winner being announced in November.
The Guest Lounge at ARCOmadrid 2026 will be one of most outstanding spaces at the fair, offering an exceptional opportunity for visibility as a meeting point for professionals and all types of visitors, as well as lovers of art and design. This will be reinforced by the editorial support of AD España, the leading publication in the fields of design, art and architecture. Previous editions have seen the participation of Mesura, Estudio Burr, Hanghar and Estudio Diir, among others, helping to boost their professional trajectories and establish themselves as recognised names in the world of design.
The call for entries will be open from July until 5 September 2025.
