A collaborative studio that celebrates classic mid-century modernism alongside groundbreaking contemporary style, Lawson-Fenning and its designs for lounge chairs, side tables, sofas and other furniture epitomize the eclectic vibrancy of Southern California.
Design students Glenn Lawson and Grant Fenning met at Pasadena’s ArtCenter College of Design in the 1990s. They shared a love of vintage furniture and, inspired by the area’s welcoming atmosphere and furniture-filled flea markets, the pair set down roots.
Lawson and Fenning rented out a studio space in Old Town Pasadena to develop new furnishings for the home as well as rework vintage pieces. Soon, passersby took notice of their original designs and wandered into the space to buy them. The pair later turned their studio into a retail outfit — initially calling it Rm. 107 before they later changed their name to Lawson-Fenning — and expanded their business to become the sophisticated design powerhouse it is today.
Lawson-Fenning’s flagship store sits on trendy Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, California, where both original, handmade furniture and 20th century vintage pieces are on offer. A warm simplicity and a laid-back SoCal vibe radiates from the company’s signature works, and their own sought-after sofas, bar stools and desks pair cozily in any living room alongside vintage Moroccan rugs, bentwood lounge chairs by Arne Norell or sculptural lamps by Greta Magnusson Grossman. The studio also takes pride in a range of partnerships it has forged with other designers and brands — while Lawson-Fenning offers a collection of pieces from the likes of Werkstätte Carl Auböck, Allied Maker, Bradley Duncan and others, many of their partners have collaborated on exclusive lines of furniture with LF, too.
