plusdesign
Plusdesign was founded in Milan, Italy, in 2006 by Lilia Laghi, Lorenzo Rossi and Mariano Pichler as a new centre for design, artistic experimentation and refinement. The original project was both a gallery and a brand specialized in limited edition furniture and lighting.
In 2014 Plusdesign was acquired by Andrea Caputo and Luca Martinazzoli with the aim to pick up from where the gallery founders started in 2006.
The gallery re-opened its doors in via Ventura, just a few meters away from the original location, in a space where one can experience and acquire exclusive pieces, also meant as a place to re-think concepts and collaborations through research.
Plusdesign thinks of its space as in line with 19th century art exhibition interiors: usually invested with a large number of sensorial and atmospheric stimuli. The reason why is related to a model of space where the artwork reveals its involvement with other different objects, signs and traces of the outside environment, without fear of clashing. The space where Plusdesign has been installed is for this reason an open and transparent space, composed of indoor and outdoor interconnected living spaces.
According to this new direction, Plusdesign defined an exhibition program. Throughout the year, the gallery produces and curates two main shows/collections, together with monthly exhibitions featuring a selection of guest designers, hosting their individual and collective production.
Plusdesign has been editing and representing the following collections so far:
