A whole universe comes together in one place, offering the most timeless of design. While these two design enthusiasts offer a cutting-edge selection of furniture and objets d’art, it is above all a space for encounters that is on offer here. In what could be described as a laboratory for new ideas, concepts intertwine and come to life. Laura and Boris enjoy collaborating with their network of gallery owners and architects, as well as with their clients. In the course of these alliances, the couple unveil the background to their compositions: bold colours, a taste for risk, but also textures and materials that are as surprising as the stories that surround them. Domum gallery is a story of craftsmanship and know-how. With this showcase, Laura and Boris bear witness to their passion for design, which is also embodied in their own lives. In fact, it was fate – symbolised here by Kay Bojesson’s little monkey – that was already weaving the threads of an inevitable meeting: it was by talking about their love of design that they fell in love.In spring 2024, domum gallery will open its doors on rue des Bains, in the centre of Geneva’s art gallery district. Originally dedicated to mid-modern design, the charismatic couple Laura Baer and Boris Liger have transformed the space into a gallery of modern and contemporary design. Breaking away from the beaten track, these two expert enthusiasts offer an eclectic, international collection of carefully selected furniture and accessories. The 130 m² showcase features collections from renowned artists and designers. Strolling through the rich selection is like travelling. The gallery is home to armchairs from Brazil, Japanese chairs and Italian classics. On the walls, works of art flirt with design objects and an entire room comes to life harmoniously, the time it takes to suggest other designers and start again. As well as emblematic re-editions and contemporary creations, domum gallery is adorned with pieces unearthed from the four corners of the globe, regularly welcoming original treasures within its walls.

Vernissage 17.09.25, 18h
Avec SOFT GRAVITY, Domum propose une exploration de la matière et de la sensualité des formes à travers le regard de plusieurs voix actuelles du design et de la création.
La série Anachron de Doruk Kubilay, designer et fondateur du Studio Lugo, associe acier et crin de cheval dans des compositions inspirées des traditions artisanales d’Anatolie, réinterprétées dans un langage sobre et modulable où matière et lumière instaurent de nouveaux rythmes sensoriels. Les objets de Natalia Brilli, qu’ils soient enveloppés de cuir et de daim ou façonnés directement en raphia, se transforment en présences inédites : par ce geste de recouvrement et de réinvention, l’artiste détourne leur fonction et leur confère une identité nouvelle et singulière. Les sculptures suspendues en plâtre d’Agnès Morch flottent dans l’espace comme des fragments de paysages intérieurs, fragiles et aériennes. Enfin, les créations d’Acerbis, éditeur italien de mobilier, inscrivent l’exposition dans une dimension architecturale et sculpturale, où l’héritage moderniste rencontre la vision de créateurs contemporains.
Conçue comme une constellation sensible, SOFT GRAVITY propose un univers où les formes suspendues, charnelles et sculpturales s’entrelacent, invitant le visiteur à une traversée entre fragilité et force, mémoire et présence.

With SOFT GRAVITY, Domum presents an exploration of materiality and the sensuality of forms through the perspective of several contemporary voices in design and creation. The Anachron series by Doruk Kubilay, designer and founder of Studio Lugo, combines steel and horsehair in compositions inspired by Anatolian craft traditions, reinterpreted in a sober and modular language where matter and light generate new sensory rhythms. The objects of Natalia Brilli, whether wrapped in leather and suede or crafted directly in raffia, are transformed into new presences: through this act of covering and reinvention, the artist diverts their function and grants them a singular identity. The suspended plaster sculptures of Agnès Morch float in space like fragile fragments of interior landscapes. Finally, the creations of Acerbis, the Italian furniture editor, situate the exhibition within an architectural and sculptural dimension, where modernist heritage meets the vision of today’s designers.
Conceived as a sensitive constellation, SOFT GRAVITY proposes a universe where suspended, tactile, and sculptural forms intertwine, inviting the viewer into a passage between fragility and strength, memory and presence.
