Fran Silvestre, jury member at Marbella Design & Art 2026

Fran Silvestre has participated as a member of the jury in the eighth edition of Marbella Design & Art 2026, held from March 19 to 29 in Marbella, now established as one of the most relevant events in interior design and contemporary creativity within the European context.

The event, which takes place at the Palacio de Ferias, Exposiciones y Congresos Adolfo Suárez, brings together more than fifty spaces conceived by architects, interior designers, artists, and leading studios. In this edition, the fair once again proposes an approach to design that goes beyond aesthetics, understanding spaces as experiences capable of conveying values, emotions, and new ways of living.

Alongside Fran Silvestre, the jury also included leading figures such as Isabel Margalejo, Jacobo Higuera Mata, and Ignacio Merino Rivero, forming a multidisciplinary team responsible for evaluating the most outstanding proposals of this edition.

Marbella Design & Art is thus consolidated as a platform where emerging studios and established firms coexist, allowing for an exploration of the evolution of contemporary interior design. The fair not only acts as a showcase but also as a space for encounter, exchange, and reflection on design, architecture, and art.

The awards ceremony took place on March 26 at the Hotel ME Marbella by Meliá, one of the key moments of the event, bringing together professionals, brands, and industry stakeholders in a context that reinforces Marbella’s role as a reference on the international creative map.
