OUR DISCOVER FORMATS LAGO WELCOME is a project for different kinds of hospitality structures. It merges the idea of a multi-site hotel with a tourism model that offers travellers a unique, customised and unforgettable experience.
LAGO COMMUNITY TABLE is an innovative table, designed for creating events and forming relationships. It can be set up in a restaurant, a trade fair or a highly trafficked area, to gather people together and amplify their voices. The LAGO COMMUNITY TABLE is a place for holding business meetings, socialising and talking about design and life.
OUR SHOP FORMATS
APPARTAMENTO LAGO is a real flat inside of which you can see LAGO products used by the people who live with them in the everyday. The home owners are passionate about design and host exclusive events, bringing life to the flat by opening its doors to welcome curious and creative guests. LAGO INSIDE is a project designed for ice cream shops and cafés as well as galleries, museums, trade fairs and more. A multitude of public spaces that will gain in personality and increase their appeal and capacity for generating business. LAGO AT WORK is an initiative for workspaces, aimed to design them with the same care and love that is usually reserved only for one’s own home. Increasing wellness in workspaces also increases the productivity of the people who work there. LAGO REAL ESTATE is a project for dynamic entrepreneurs, offering them the opportunity to furnish a sample flat in their property with LAGO products. LAGO design raises the quality of the building and LAGO communication increases its visibility. The sample flat acts as a catalyst for selling the other flats in the building.

LAGO STORE is a single-brand LAGO store that presents the best of the LAGO collection for every area of the home. You can find them in provincial capitals, major tourist cities and historical city centres. LAGO SPACE, POINT, CAPSULE are our spaces for multi-brand stores of various sizes and dedicated to specific areas of the home. APPARTAMENTO LAGO STORE is a retail space within a flat. They are found in exclusive contexts and offer the opportunity to experience an innovative approach to buying and selling. They are more than a shop, also hosting events and communicating the Italian spirit and a home-like feeling all over the world. LAGO THE OTHER STORE is our cross-selling solution for revitalising, through design, different kinds of commercial activity: clothing stores, jewellery stores, travel agencies and bookstores. They offer the opportunity to see, try and buy LAGO furnishings in spaces that revolutionise the usual experience customers have in stores.

LAGO WELCOME Our challenge with the LAGO WELCOME project is to create surprising and authentic hospitality spaces that look to the local territory and believe in the capacity of design to innovate and improve the experiences of people wherever they find themselves. Going by the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) predictions, predictions, international tourist flow from now to 2030 will grow on average of 43 million tourists per year. This tourist flow will be increasingly ÂŤliquidÂť, but in all areas it will have a common denominator: the search for unique experiences.

1. Project A customised design project Every LAGO WELCOME aims to create unique settings where people can have extraordinary travel experiences. Our design will come to life by dialoguing with the local area and the owner's special requirements. This input is essential for defining the precise identity of every LAGO WELCOME site or space. Authenticity enlivens every LAGO WELCOME design, making them stand out on an increasingly competitive market. The flexibility and adaptability of LAGO products makes it possible to develop designs that meet the needs of hospitality today: from sleeping areas and regenerating wellness zones to kitchens and sitting rooms that favour conviviality. The range of LAGO products covers all needs.

2. Product Timeless design with advantageous economic conditions In our Manifesto, we state: «You are the design, we provide the alphabet». This is why our products are designed as basic «ingredients» to be used to create singular compositions unlike any others. Each of our products is designed, produced and assembled in our factory, the LAGO FABBRICA, submitted to countless quality tests, made with recyclable materials and coloured with water-based paints. Modularity, lightness, contrast, vitality and architectural dimension are the chromosomes that characterise our design. Design that gives importance to every individual and to the wellness of our interior lives.
