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.

second skin

8 - 17 April 2026

Featuring works by Jeremy Jaspers, Jun’ya Ishigami, Yuji Yoshida, alongside pieces by Isamu Noguchi, the exhibition explores textures and layers — skin, textile, wood, and paper — as sensitive surfaces that conceal, protect, and reveal form.

With Second Skin, downtown+ stages a dialogue between contemporary arts and historical forms, where each material becomes a sensitive surface — a second skin through which the relationship between body, object, and space unfolds.
