Fábrica Moderna Lisboa — Maker Coworking & Creative Workshop

What to expect at Fábrica Moderna

Fábrica Moderna is Lisbon's only coworking space built around a fully equipped shared creative workshop — a place where ideas don't stay on paper. Tucked into Marvila's industrial east side, it brings together makers, artisans, designers and artists under one roof with hands-on access to laser cutting, 3D printing, a ceramics kiln, and electronics and robotics tools, all available 24/7 for residents with keycard access. Resident ateliers can be rented for ongoing creative practice, and a multidisciplinary mentor community is on hand to help you take a project from first sketch to finished object. Beyond the workshop, a prolific public programme covers jewellery, ceramics, welding, cyanotype, illustration and more — so there's always something being made, learned or shared. The space is pet-friendly, community-rooted and proudly locally owned. With a 4.7 Google rating, visitors consistently note the warm, artist-led spirit that makes Fábrica Moderna unlike any conventional coworking space in Lisboa.

Location & Hours

The Neighborhood

Fábrica Moderna sits in Marvila, Lisbon's rising creative and industrial district east of the city centre. Long home to warehouses and wine cellars, Marvila has steadily transformed into a concentration of artist studios, independent galleries and maker spaces — the kind of neighbourhood where the work you do inside feels continuous with the energy outside. The nearest Metro station is Bela Vista (Blue Line), offering a straightforward connection to central Lisboa. Street parking is available on Rua Pereira Henriques and surrounding streets, though it can be limited during busier times — residents and first-time visitors are advised to plan ahead. The wider Marvila area rewards exploration on foot, with independent cafés, ceramic studios and creative industry neighbours within easy walking distance. For those commuting from Oriente or Parque das Nações, the eastern corridor makes Fábrica Moderna one of the most accessible maker spaces on this side of the city.
