STUDIO LYS

The visual identity for Interlude Rwanda aims to highlight the rich complexity of the country. Geometric symbols and contrasting typography are used to craft a powerful narrative connecting the past and present. Interlude Rwanda celebrates Rwanda’s rich heritage through site-specific art installations, and every graphic detail was chosen to evoke strength, unity, and a sense of connection. The logotype, featuring two distinct typefaces, symbolises the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.

Featuring over forty works from renowned artists such as Rubens, Canova, and Magritte, “I tempi del Bello. Tra mondo classico, Guido Reni e Magritte,” offers a unique blend of historical and contemporary perspectives, celebrating the evolution of aesthetics in a serene, elegantly designed atmosphere. Studio Lys’s art direction and exhibition design honour the classical ideals of beauty, harmony, and balance, creating a dialogue between classic and contemporary.

In continuity with the shades of the Rococò paintings, the colours of the architectural elements are reflected in the graphic and visual supports of the exhibition.

“Lo Sguardo del Sentire. Il Seicento emiliano dalle collezioni d’arte Credem a favore della Romagna”, exhibition at Museo Baggati Valsecchi, showcases a selection of masterpieces from Cerdem’s art collection alongside sculptures by Carlo Zauli aimed at supporting the restoration of flood-damaged pieces from Museo Carlo Zauli of Faenza.

Taking inspiration from the design solutions of Carlo Scarpa, Studio Lys designed an exhibition system composed of fabric-covered panels, capable of enhance the masterpieces on display.

To celebrate 100 years of Loro Piana, Studio LYS designed the installation of the newsstand on Via Giardini during Milan Fashion week in September 2023.

Starting with the thistle flower, used by Loro Piana in its production process to make the wool softer, terracotta tiles on which the footprints of the thistle flower are imprinted were produced for the installation.

An installation that invites interaction and relationship with it.

Colour is the protagonist of “Colour Archaeology”, the installation of Laufen for the Salone del Mobile 2024, in Laufen Space in Milan. Curated by Roberto Sironi with the contribution of Studio Lys; this innovative installation trasformed the exhibition space into a mosaic of history and materiality.

The elegance of nature is the theme that inspired “Lines of Nature,” an installation designed by Studio Lys in collaboration with Studio Mary Lennox.

The setup was used to present the new collections of Zucchetti, Pan S and Sablier at Salone del Mobile Milano 2024.

Sustainability, resilience and equity are the three pillars behind Sharja Architecture Triennial 02.

Starting from these three concepts, Studio LYS designed sustainable graphic supports for the exhibition conceived by Space Caviar “The Beauty of Impermanence”

In line with these three pillars all the graphic supports take maximum advantage of the formats, printed in black and white on recycled paper and wheat pasted directly on the walls of the venues.

Light is the protagonist of this exhibition that crosses the centuries and nations. The effects of light are investigated in a selection of more than 40 works distributed throughout the aisles of Palazzo San Francesco.

The installation “How dare you” shares new collaborations between LAUFEN and NM3, Monique Baumann, and Marcel Wanders with an immersive and bold exhibition design. The LAUFEN X NM3 capsule collection is presented in a space covered by large-scale photographs of important works of Milanese architecture, here the products in collaboration with NM3 are placed in dialogue within the entranceways of Milan’s most iconic buildings. The products are highlighted as they blend with the marble floors and mirrored halls. Ceramic details become part of optical effects that reflect the architecture onto the stainless steel surfaces. The installation is immersive and poetic – showcasing the transformative power of the product’s material.

For the shooting of LaufenXNM3, we choose to produce the photography project in famous Milanese entryways, the ingressi. The products are highlighted as they blend with the marble floors and mirrored halls. Ceramic details become part of optical effects that reflect the architecture onto the stainless steel surfaces.

Ways of Water celebrates the multitudes of water: its fluidity, transformative power, and sensory poetics. We seek to pay homage to nature and focus on conversations around sustainability through water. This installation translates Zucchetti’s Water Values and Kos’ Water Wonders into a play of transparencies, lights, and reflections inviting the public to consider the preciousness of water and rediscover a conscious relationship with it. The location’s industrial structure is visible and combined with the naturalness of the water. We suspended thin fabrics from the ceiling that recall the ripples of a water’s surface and explore the building’s architectural depth through the use of transparencies, stratifications, and reflections. A series of pedestals were developed that use the tile as unexpected and contemporary displays.

For the booth design “A New Era of Connectivity” presented at ISH 2023 by Laufen Bathrooms, we conceived a monumental installation merging the physical and the digital space. The booth is composed of high walls with sharp cuts revealing the architecture and elegant niches designed to create a unique atmosphere relating to each collection’s identity. The space is completed by a bold graphic system composed of billboards on the exterior walls, images, and painted zones on the concrete floor that underline the urban and industrial atmosphere of this booth design.

It is a space designed for flexibility of use without restriction. Here columns melt into the ceiling, lightweight panels form temporary rooms, and ceiling beams become waves transporting light from above.

The project by Studio LYS is conceived as an overlapping of layers woven together to show the complexity of the LAUFEN brand. The public and clients will share a brand experience from the products, technical details and their sophisticated materials to image and video installations.

Lys redesigned the corporate identity of Benetti group and their marketing and communication tools; stationary, catalogues and website. The video campaign and photo shoot emphasized the elegance and splendor of a brand with great heritage while also projecting an advanced vision of the future.

Benetti’s brand, a world-famous yachting company with a strong heritage, needed to establish a more contemporary tone of voice. We designed the new website and work together with them to create catalogues, publications, and all the communication tools to allow the corporate identity to effortlessly evolve. We chose to explore the concept of micro and macro to tell the story of know-how and the high quality of Benetti that takes place on different scales.

The interior design of the Burgez franchise echoes the communication style of the brand, which is young, energetic, contemporary, charismatic, ironic and often teasing. We designed every store of this fast food brand under a consistent concept, but also tailoring each look based on the location and the message that had to be delivered.

The aim is to reflect the buzz on social media, in a dynamic and constantly evolving society that relies more and more on word-of-mouth.

“Am I open-minded?” : through an artistic exhibition suspended between reflections and transparencies, in a continuous dialogue between art and design, LAUFEN inaugurates the LAUFEN space Milano, a new concept that joins the other spaces of the Swiss brand in the world.

In the Zucchetti Group Milan showroom we designed installations for the 2020 launch of collections: Medameda, Helm, Beam, and Rise. Introducing these brands within a new corporate identity that featured colors, imagery and graphic elements curated by our team. Lys supervised the new communication and graphics assets, both in print and digital.

Zucchetti and Kos are two complementary brands each with their own identity. In our art direction of these brands, we aimed to share the unique qualities of these individual voices as they continue to evolve in parallel. Zuchetti Group strongly believes in developing new ideas with multiple collaborators – extending its community of designers. For these 2020 collections we began new partnerships with world-famous signatures such as David Lopez Quincoces, Visibility, Zaven, Alberto and Francesco.

This exhibition is the result of a successful collaboration with the artistic directors of the theater, who took care of the content, and Circular Agency, which designed the graphic layouts. Together with them we conceived a set up for the celebration of the 220 anniversary of the Accademia dei Filodrammatici of Milan, the oldest theater academy in the world. It took place at the Teatro dei Filodrammatici, a location with a great historical significance. 

The exhibition route led the guests from the entrance of the theater through the foyer, until reaching the audience. The storytelling was deep and layered, with meaningful amounts of audios, illustrations, anecdotes, plus some stage costumes and props straight from the archives of the Accademia. The feeling was to be part of a common thread between the past and the future of this great institution. 

B.Inspired is a publication which presents the identity of the brand, new projects on the horizon and the vision of Benetti. Through interviews with designers and company employees, the many amazing stories which Benetti inspired and realized are told. All interviews have been organized by Lys. We designed the publication in its entirety – from the concept to the graphics and from its packaging to production.

The new Kos imagery is inspired by a holistic wellness concept, where the immersion in water transports one into another dimension – a dreamlike space. We conceived images which conjure the emotion and aesthetics connected to the world of bath. Images of faded borders, reflections, transparencies, and colors that spill into rooms like water.

Musk&Amber is a convergence point for art, design and fashion, located in Les Breges du Lac, Tunis. We worked on the exhibition on Nadine Kanso, a jewelry designer. During the event, the jewels and the pictures shot all around the word by the artist came together, mixing material objects with evanescent images, and ultimately delivering an experience with multiple levels of interpretation.

For Azimut Yachts we developed the publication Keywords about the brands vision and its approach to the nautical world. The publication featured a diverse range of topics: interior design, yacht technology, textile design and travels. Through interviews with designers, company employees and boat owners the book presents the multifaceted soul of Azimut Yacht brand and the passion of all the people around it. We designed the publication in its entirety – from the concept to the graphics and from its packaging to production.

Our Azimut communication strategy presents a journey within the world of sailing, here we aim to tell the story of the brand in all its complexity and grandeur. We are currently working together with Azimut towards developing this storytelling strategy with lifestyle at its core. Lys redefined the Azimut brand identity and have been involved in the video and photoshoots of each collection – producing publications and catalogues with the imagery.

There is an idea of deconstruction and reconstruction behind RIFT, an aluminum radiator that stands out for its essential taste. The possibilities of this heater are infinite, since the two extruded modules can be combined in very different ways, according to the space they occupy. The outcome is compact, symmetrical or asymmetrical, but always iconic. RIFT can blend with the setting or, on the contrary, emerge with its lively, unmistakable personality.

In the styling of Kartell by Laufen image, we collaborated on the design of an environment for the photoshoot campaign. The images came to life in a world of curved walls, a landscape where light softly falls on rounded surfaces in a dialogue with the strong forms of the products. The colors of the collection emerge from the absolute and infinite backdrops.

The exhibition Time Matters took place during the Fuorisalone 2019 at Palazzo Litta in Milan.

The Fugit vase is made of a single metal sheet that seems to turn and fold around itself, alternating between closed and open. The asymmetrical edges of Fugit produce a dialogue with the softness of the flowers displayed. This sequence of contrasting materials and forms find balance within the folds of the vase. The thinness of the sheet gives the object an obvious lightness, while the rigid shape and acute 90° angles design a sculptural vase with a strong architectural soul.

Poolspa is part of the ROCA group and leader of the SPA and wellness manufacture in Europe. It works with raw materials, thanks to a great experience with Solid Surface, Gelcoat and Acrylic. We were in charge of reinventing the whole concept behind the brand, defining all the guidelines to develop new marketing and communication tools. 

The team decided to tell the most interesting and sometimes untold features of the company, especially focusing on the matter and its transformations up to the final product. 

The photo shoot captured the production processes and the research department, but it also portrayed the products in a way that recalls the archeological artefacts. The shapes are almost like fossils, with a look that lies in between the abstract and the organic. 

The result is a celebration of the manufacturing capabilities of the company, which is able to fabricate different finishes, thicknesses, and also complex objects straight from its molds.

In this photo shoot of the production process, the origin of the product is told from a scientific point of view.

Like a photon in constant motion, bending space as it passes, the luminous source seems to have sufficient weight to distort the top on which it rests. The concept is inspired by Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and his space-time studies. The curved shape of the top, a surprising yet subtle touch, confers a discreet personality to an object characterized by simple, clean-cut shapes and an interesting textural note.

200 hectares of residential areas where condos, semi-detached houses, single family houses, commercial areas, and common areas stand. Our team started a partnership with local studios in Orlando, Florida, developing the corporate identity for the whole project and single neighborhoods. We also designed the layout of each apartment, and the interior design for the clubhouse  (the building that includes all the amenities for the residents). Our experience has been crucial in managing the cultural differences between our know-how and the American business strategies. We had the chance to offer our vision and Italian sensitivity, putting it at the service of a very ambitious and long-lasting project. 

Hudson at East turns out to be the perfect place to live a very comfortable adventure. Every single apartment has been carefully designed by us to deliver a pleasant feeling of leisure.

Exteta puts craftsmanship and high quality standards at its core. This company originally started out as a frontrunner of the most exclusive outdoor furniture, and now is focusing more and more on designing hybrid objects that easily flow from the inside to the outside, and the other way around. We took care of the Exteta brand creative direction, pursuing a path of evolution, designing a new website, the new catalogues, the publications, the video and photo shoots, and any other communication material. We favored an elegant layout with a clean line that recalls some haute couture fashion brands.

The idea behind the shelf floor lamp Heis derives from quantum mechanics, and in particular, from Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. The concept of Heis, a proposal that is composed of pure and rigorous forms – an iron tubular frame, a glass sphere in opal glass that holds the light source, and two metal disks – recall the statement that establishes the limits of knowledge and measurement of a physical system.
