New Delhi, June 2022: Lualdi, the legendary Italian brand for interior doors that combines creativity with engineering, took part in Milan Design Week 2022 both inside the Milan trade fair complex and at the Fuorisalone, with an event that took place in the showroom at Foro Buonaparte 74.
Project Name: Lualdi Showcases
Studio Name: Ottimo
SALONE INTERNAZIONALE DEL MOBILE. MILAN
The Lualdi stall was developed in continuity with the showroom concept, dedicated to the story of custom-made systems and furnishings.
The space, designed by Piero Lissoni, art director of the brand, became the setting for new stories. The partitions served different functions, giving life to a sequence of environments in a sort of artistic labyrinth.
This allowed the company to set the individual products in a realistic context within the exhibition space in order to demonstrate their functional and aesthetic aspects. It also enabled it to experiment with finishes, styles and new combinations, testifying to the ability of the Lualdi products to influence and define synergistically the architecture of the spaces.
The exhibition layout guided the visitors along a path in which a story unfolds, enabling them to interact both physically and emotionally with the space. The storyline is enhanced with two new proposals for the occasion:
Teatro – La Bella
Teatro, designed for Lualdi by Andrea Boschetti, is a partition system that perfectly meets the needs of a contract and residential market requiring highly versatile and modular spaces.
With the La Bella version, the design is enhanced with geometric decorations and plays of solids and voids on the modules in natural wood. The succession of these doors gives rise to compositions that are always different.
La Bella is just one example of the innumerable ways this project can be customized, born as it was to create flexible and contemporary partition solutions that are suitable for the design of a variety of functional areas, from private residences to clubhouses, from executive business environments to entertainment spaces.
Skye
Skye is the system of fixed and sliding panels, designed for Lualdi by Piero Lissoni in 2021, which is now presented in a version that is composed entirely of wood. The system allows for multiple configurations, both in terms of the structure and in the selection of finishes.
L7 Bi-Folding
A further evolution of the iconic L7 family, designed for Lualdi by Piero Lissoni, it is a system of folding doors designed to delimit, characterise and define the most personal domestic spaces.
It retains the intangibility and lightness of the original collection, as well as the possibility to customize the glass and aluminum finishes.
