Roberto Lazzeroni Desks
Italian, b. 1950
Italian modern furniture designer Roberto Lazzeroni uses the term “sentimental design” for the marriage between the past and the future in his work. This approach has also been called “transitive design,” as it bridges familiar traditions with forward-thinking innovation, creating a feeling of both tension and nostalgia. Lazzeroni’s discerning eye for detail has informed an artistic direction for his furniture that reimagines balance, style and class.
Born in Pisa, Italy, Lazzeroni chose to remain in his home city and develop his business there. He studied architecture in Florence, Italy, and was drawn to conceptual art and radical design. When he launched his career in the early 1980s, his work quickly gained notice for its distinctive forms. Lazzeroni was intrigued by industrial interior design, a style he specialized in and described as “fundamental” in the development of industrial products. With a passion for the historical aspects of design, Lazzeroni employed his skill and knowledge to make a noteworthy shift in the style of the era.
Lazzeroni has continued to produce inventive work throughout his dynamic career, including through collaborative projects with furniture brands and companies like Ceccotti Collezioni, Flexform and Poltrona Frau.
He has consistently been a driving force of unique, luxurious and visually striking furniture. He has garnered many prestigious accolades and awards, such as the ELLE DECO International Design Award.
