architecture-design · 2026-06-06

Lualdi, an Italian door manufacturer, has launched two flagship showrooms in New York and London as part of its global expansion strategy. The New York location, situated at 180 Madison Avenue, was opened in September 2025 and spans 200 square meters, fully renovated to serve as a center for design culture. Meanwhile, the London showroom on Margaret Street debuted on 7 May 2026, with design direction by Piero Lissoni, who has shaped the brand's aesthetic since 2010. Lissoni's design focuses on technical interactions rather than traditional home setups, highlighting the door's role in spatial organization. Founded in 1860 by Carlo Lualdi in Magenta, the company transitioned from carpentry to design through partnerships with architects like Vico Magistretti. Lualdi has been active in the UK since the 1990s and has locations in Miami and Los Angeles, marking a shift from export to a direct market presence for managing complex projects.
