HOW DARE YOU - DESIGN WEEK INSTALLATION
“How dare you” is the title of this year’s art and design installation at LAUFEN space Milan for the Design Week. A provocative question that refers to the courage to go beyond one's limits and create courageous, eclectic and surprising projects.

Applying the Swiss artist's bold aesthetic to bathroom objects creates a colourful and most unusual LAUFEN artist edition.
LAUFENXNM3 – STEEL HEROES
Equally pragmatic and environmentally conscious in its approach, the Milan-based design studio is admired primarily for its purist and cool style.
MARCEL WANDERS: THE ROMANTIC SIDE OF CERAMICS
Dutch designer Marcel Wanders enriches his The New Classic collection with three new decors that emphasise the materiality of ceramics. Also part of the exhibition: Wanders’ very special Falconnier Chandelier, a unique piece of art made with glass bricks and Saphirkeramik as a tribute to 19th century architect Gustave Falconnier, inventor of the famous “briques de verre”.
LAUFEN - THE SPACE COLLECTION
This year’s exhibition in LAUFEN space Milan gives voice to our eclectic soul. With works of NM3, Monique Baumann and Marcel Wanders, LAUFEN presents very different artistic languages in an extraordinary collection as part of the Milan Design Week 2023.
THE SHAPE OF THINGS
LAUFEN space Milano hosted an exhibition that explored the multifaceted nature of LAUFEN while celebrating the evolution of the celebrated ILBAGNOALESSI collection.
SNØHETTA SEES ILBAGNOALESSI
Inspired by the fluid and organic forms of ILBAGNOALESSI, the architecture firm Snøhetta has created five digital artworks that provide a surreal and dreamlike perspective on the collection.

At Salone del Mobile 2022, LAUFEN and Milan-based NM3 explore expressive forms of living. See how the exhibition and unique object received a Special Mention Fuorisalone Award at the event.
URINE, A SOURCE OF ENERGY
Design urgently requires new strategies in order to shift from a culture of “take, make, waste” to sustainable production and consumption cycles.
STAYING AHEAD OF BATHROOM CULTURE
LAUFEN Space Milan opened with a new interior design system that allows for constant change: Minimalistic steel racks combined with flexible ceiling mounts enable ever-changing displays and allow us to explore contemporary bathroom culture – such as during our iconic Swiss Breakfasts.
