A new visual chapter for Corinthia Lisbon

Corinthia Lisbon introduces a new visual identity created in collaboration with Portuguese ceramic artist Anna Westerlund. Inspired by the city’s tiled façades, Atlantic light and expressive character, the distinctive pattern reflects Lisbon through colour, texture and a strong sense of place.

Created as part of Corinthia Hotels’ wider creative direction, Anna’s design reinterprets the tradition of Portuguese azulejos through a contemporary lens. The result is a visual signature that feels deeply connected to the hotel’s identity as Lisbon’s Vibrant Urban Oasis - warm, creative and unmistakably Portuguese.

The collaboration also includes three ceramic pieces created exclusively for Corinthia Lisbon and displayed in the hotel lobby, bringing the visual identity into a more tangible form and offering guests an immediate connection to the artistry and spirit behind it.

“Perfection has never been my pursuit. For Corinthia Lisbon, I wanted the work to feel inviting, playful and close to people, carrying that Portuguese soul that moves between fado and the joy of the streets.”

Meet Anna Westerlund

Anna Westerlund is a Portuguese ceramic artist whose work is rooted in drawing, colour, texture and the expressive possibilities of clay. Born to a Swedish father and a Portuguese mother, she grew up between two cultures, later studying Marketing and Advertising before finding her artistic path through ceramics at AR.CO in Lisbon. Her work has since gained international recognition, with pieces exhibited at the MoMA Shop in New York and at the Portugal Convida visual arts exhibition in Barcelona.

Her practice is guided by a deep respect for the handmade process. In her work, imperfection is not something to erase, but part of the story of each piece, shaped by time, experimentation, emotion and the touch of the hand. This approach gives her ceramics a sense of intimacy and warmth, reflecting the belief that objects can carry both memory and feeling.
