Created in 2023, downtown+ brings together carefully selected pieces from the Laffanour | Galerie Downtown collections and works by designers and artists from the young contemporary scene.

Over the decades, François Laffanour | Galerie Downtown has showcased the work of twentieth-century modernist architects, and gained worldwide recognition for its exhibitions of Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret. Luna Laffanour, who initiated this project born of the desire to take a fresh look at the Laffanour | Galerie Downtown's heritage, intends to explore the contours of the design gallery. Luna proposes a new perspective on these collections through a cycle of exhibitions and fairs, both physical and digital, where art and design meet.

Ettore Sottsass x Jean Prouvé

2 June - 12 July 2025

On the occasion of the SUMMER SHOW 2025 at Laffanour | Galerie Downtown, downtown+ by Luna Laffanour presents a new exhibition in Jean Prouvé's emblematic demountable house in space LH14140 -Downtown/Normandy.

This formal dialogue gives rise to a vibrant mise-en-scène in which design is no longer decorative or utilitarian, but the bearer of narratives, affects and frictions. Industrial architecture welcomes colorful emotion, spirituality and insolence.

This intervention is fully in line with downtown+'s approach: decompartmentalizing periods and formats, creating daring dialogues between historical figures and contemporary gestures.
