using a more industrial approach and aesthetics than that in his organic wooden series for gallery FUMI, berlin-based designer lukas wegwerth has developed the III+1 connector system. made to build structures from furniture to architecture, the system has already been used in projects such as the collaborative production workshop, designed together with atelier LUMA and ooze architects; STUDIOLOLS in palazzo clerici during last year’s milan design week, created in collaboration with atelier luma and dutch collective cookies; and the 4th istanbul design biennial, a school of schools.

the III+1 system allows a vast amount of applications, while its elements can be produced and adopted locally to save logistics and energy. together with atelier LUMA and ooze, lukas wegwerth built the collaborative production workshop, a space structured and defined by modular elements such as shelves, tables and spaces, all utilizing III+1 as their scaffolding system. easy to shift and restructure, the flexible system can adapt to different needs and create different working environments.

STUDIOLOLS, the installation designed by cookies in collaboration with atelier luma, also utilizes III+1 as its construction system. placed at palazzo clerici during the 2018 milan design week, the project comprised a collection of inhabitable structures, where different materials were tested within a frame built on the III+1.
