SPATIAL MATTERS – Interiors & Digital Fabrication
SPATIAL MATTERS – Interiors & Digital Fabrication
“Space and material become new, unexpected organisms through digital processes.”
SPATIAL MATTERS explores the intersection of interior design, brand experience, and digital fabrication. Together with the GLAD collective and our clients, Guy Lafranchi develops immersive environments that make brands tangible, shape identities, and transform advanced technologies into sensorial spaces.
Each project is an adventurous journey: interiors, brand landscapes, and digital processes merge into spatial narratives that are experimental, inspiring, and one-of-a-kind – rooted in craft, innovation, and visionary design.

World of Forms and Experience The Stadelmann world of experience is derived from the folds and pressure conditions under which gemstones are formed. This principle is reinterpreted through the interplay of Corian and precious wood – a tension between hardness and warmth, precision and sensuality. As with the limited GLAD Furniture editions, this gives rise to a unique world of forms and experiences.

WALL GAME
WALL GAME
WALL GAME is the reinterpretation of a wall – not as a dividing element, but as a communicator, exhibition surface, workshop wall, and sound regulator. Conceived as mobile and realized by Form AG through innovative digital fabrication, the project combines functionality with the formal worlds of Guy Lafranchi. Location: Form AG.
