Ligia Dias is a multidisciplinary artist-designer working within art, design and fashion. She lives in Geneva.

Her work is self-defined as « Coco Chanel and Max Bill driving a Matra 530 customized by Sonia Delaunay ». The Bauhaus legacy is explicit in her practice but who cares at the end. Dias' work has been presented internationally in exhibitions such as MEDUSA, Jewelry & Taboos in 2017 (Musée d'art Moderne de la Ville de Paris) and L’Esprit du Bauhaus (Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris). In 2009 she received the ANDAM Award of Young French Designers (Association Nationale pour le Développement des Arts de la Mode). She regularly collaborates with renowned artists and her work is part of international private and institutional collections of art and design.

Dias also curates The Corner Piece, a project she has launched in 2017. The project refers to the store and the exhibition. It wishes to be interdisciplinary and puts together conceptual and craft practices. The principle is to invite artists and designers according to productions they have made within or at the edge of their framework. In a spirit of transversality, the project questions the notion of artistic field, the subjective value of a given object, be it art-work or product, as well as the exhibition form in itself.

In parallel, Dias collaborates as Creative consultant for luxury fashion brands.
