Beyond the Horizon: LAZZONI and Vignelli's Distinguished Professor Josh Owen at NY Design Week

New York is once again coming alive with ideas and inspiration as Design Week approaches, a gathering ground for fresh thinking and creative expression. We are excited to be part of this vibrant scene this time around, as we embark on a compelling collaboration with the esteemed designer Josh Owen.

Josh Owen is a respected figure in the world of design. As a distinguished professor from the Vignelli Center for Design Studies, his work is marked by a profound understanding of how objects are formed, how they function, and the stories they tell. His approach goes beyond just how things look; he delves into how people interact with design and the cultural meaning it carries.

At LAZZONI, our journey is shaped by generations of craftsmanship and a deep respect for good design. We focus on using quality materials and thoughtful details to create spaces that feel comfortable, functional, and timeless. Our collections combine clean lines with rich textures, offering simple yet refined pieces that fit naturally into everyday life. Over time, we’ve grown into a global brand, but our goal remains the same: to make furniture that helps people feel truly at home.

At this year’s NY Design Week, we’re bringing together our roots and our vision for the future, sharing how tradition and innovation can meet in design. The focal point of this dialogue will undoubtedly be the unveiling of an exciting new product, a result of the creative partnership between LAZZONI's design philosophy and Josh Owen's visionary mind. What emerges when a design expert known for putting people and ideas at the center collaborates with a brand dedicated to quality and refined living? We believe the result speaks for itself—thoughtful, refined, and full of character. This exclusive piece will be available in a limited edition, with just three to be auctioned.

The Vignelli Center for Design Studies, where Josh Owen lends his expertise, holds a significant place in the landscape of modern design education. Founded by the legendary Massimo and Lella Vignelli, the center at the Rochester Institute of Technology serves as a vital hub for the study and preservation of modern design principles. It champions clarity, timelessness, and intellectual rigor in design, values that resonate deeply with our own approach at LAZZONI. Owen's affiliation with this esteemed institution underscores the depth of knowledge and thoughtful consideration that informs his design process.

This collaboration for us is more than just about a new product launch; it's a meeting of shared values and a fusion of creative energies. It reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, to seeking fresh perspectives, and to actively engaging with the international design community. Partnering with a designer of Josh Owen's stature highlights our dedication to pushing creative boundaries and our understanding that exceptional design is a continuous journey of exploration.

For those attending NY Design Week, we’d love for you to stop by at the LAZZONI event featuring Josh Owen. It will be a unique opportunity to witness the unveiling of a design that we believe will be both visually stunning and conceptually rich. You'll have the chance to hear firsthand from the creators, gaining insight into the inspiration and the collaborative process behind this exciting endeavor. Join us to delve deeper into the world of contemporary design and witness the powerful impact of a shared vision between a dedicated brand and a distinguished designer. We eagerly await the opportunity to share this exciting new chapter with you in New York.
