Alcova founders join the L A M P 2026 jury, and….
a selection of this year’s entries will be shown at Alcova Mexico City. Valentina Ciuffi and Joseph Grima will curate and invite work from the 2026 L A M P submissions to be exhibited at the first Alcova edition in Mexico City, during art week February 2027. Entries to the eleventh L A M P close on 31 October 2026.
L A M P + Ciuffi and Grima will make a selection from the full pool of 2026 entries, independently of the finalists. Every designer who enters is therefore considered twice: once by the jury, and once for the Mexico City presentation. L A M P manages the display, and selected designers will be expected to cover the cost of shipping their work to take part in this engaging, dynamic installation at Art Week.
“Since we moved the competition online, the thing I have missed is seeing the work in a room, at scale, with people walking around it. Mexico City gives us that opportunity. Valentina and Joseph look at more new design in a year than most of us see in ten, so having them choose from our submissions puts these designers in front of an audience that is very hard to reach any other way.””
L A M P + Alcova Mexico City is an independently sponsored initiative. We are deeply grateful for the support of our sponsors:
