Established in 1860, the Italian firm Lualdi, renowned for its interior doors, has ventured into partitioning and paneling systems aimed at creating cohesive modern interiors. This evolution signifies the blending of residential, hospitality, and office environments. Their premier offering, Framework, introduced in 2025 and crafted by Piero Lissoni, reimagines walls as architectural elements, incorporating innovative frame technology for doors and panels, along with practical accessories. This modular system accommodates diverse solutions while reducing the need for structural alterations. It includes a 61-mm aluminum-framed door available in multiple finishes. Additionally, the Shoin system, designed by Dante Bonuccelli, features sleek sliding glass panels. Lualdi's vision is prominently displayed at its new London showroom on Margaret Street, which opened in May 2026.
