Our Four Generations Story
1897
Lazzoni’s Four Generations Story
With roots dating back over a century, Lazzoni is much more than a design house. The core of Lazzoni is in its first three letters: “Laz”. The Laz Tribe is known for building wood Serander houses in the Black Sea coastal region of Turkey at the northeast border of Georgia. (above) Our first generation founder, Laz Hasan the carpenter. His craft still stands tall today. The wood structure is the Serander house, dating back circa 1897. Next to it is our first assembly car, Opel (1961).
1960
Bulut Kitchen and Woodwork
Osman, a 2nd generation carpenter, migrated to the capital from his Black-sea village. In less than 10 years he founded Bulut Kolektif and started the first modular kitchen manufacturer of Eastern Europe and Turkey.

1990
Italian Inspiration
Inspired by late-century modern Italian design and crafted with materials supplied from Italy and Germany, all of our products are created with minimal affect to the environment. This style of healthy living that we aspire to is learned from our ancestors. (above) 1990’s Massimo & Lella Vignelli design reception desk is an inspiration to Lazzoni’s modern design vision.

Giuseppe Nicoletti

Working with Giuseppe and his son Eustachio inspired us to start our New York Collection which is retailed throughout our US design showrooms today.

4th generation family
Presently run by the 4th generation family members, we greet our customers in New York with the same excitement as our ancestors did a century ago. In our Lazzoni family we have a promise. A promise to ourselves to always preserve our ethos and integrity for creating furniture and homes with feeling and dedication to every square foot. A promise to our loyal customers to challenge the status quo. To develop functionality within design that is not defined by space. A promise to never laugh when the occasional passerby falls asleep on a bed in the showroom. And above all, a promise to keep spreading the philosophy of the Lazzoni lifestyle for generations to come.
