LEMA - Felix armchair

It's ideal positioned in the bedroom, yet its delicate elegance means it works well in other spaces too. The curved, shell-effect backrest wraps around the monolithic seat, tempting you to relax, while stitching is used to emphasise the curved, delicate lines.

Roberto Lazzeroni

Roberto Lazzeroni was born in Pisa, the town where he has chosen to live and to work. His professional training is the result of studies – Art and Architecture in Florence.

From the beginning ha has always shown an interest both in the phenomena of the world of conceptual art and the ones of radical design.

In the early 80’s he started to be interested in industrial and interior design, a specialization which he defines as “fundamental” for the following approach to the world of the “industrial product”. A fine connoisseur of the history of design and its related signs, he is very skillful to put daily into practice this knowledge.

Talking about his own projects, Lazzeroni uses the expression of “sentimental design”; it is indeed easy, even for an untrained eye, to see the tension between past and future in this works.

This trend is nowadays defined as “transitive design”.The signs of past are somehow recognizable; they are clearly worked out again and the outcome ia a real and balanced tension between past and future.

After the experience with Ceccotti Collezioni which started in 1988, today Lazzeroni has started to collaborate also with many others important firms.

Starting from 2008, he has been collaborating with Lema for whom he has signed numerous projects over the years.

LEMA

Pioneers in Italy in integrated furniture systems

In the early ’70s, Lema was the first Italian company to design and produce integrated furniture systems, managing the entire production cycle internally, from the search for raw materials, to processing, right up to the finished product. An industrial reality with roots dating back to the 1930s, when Angelo Meroni opened a craft workshop in Arosio, specializing in the production of classic furniture. The group's initial development would pass through several collaborations with the Milanese artistic context, thanks to partnerships with various designers and architects including one with Angelo Mangiarotti, one of the most relevant designers and urban planners not only in Italy, but also with regard to the United States.

Today, the Italian company boasts in the heart of Brianza, a covered industrial production plant of 55,000 square metres, divided between the two plants, one in Alzate Brianza (CO) and one in Giussano (MB), designed by Arch. Angelo Mangiarotti with over 250 employees, and a network of approximately 1,000 resellers distributed in 65 countries around the world.

In 2004 the Lema Contract , the division specialising in large scale projects, was launched. From multi-apartment complexes to retail via hotels and corporate spaces, Lema offers custom-made solutions for the most prestigious projects in the world.

For over thirty years LEMA has been providing hospitality solutions to the UK, which has always been a key market. For this reason, LEMA UK Ltd was established in 2012, an offshoot of LEMA Spa, which has helped us forge a reputation of excellent service for both home and contract divisions. In 2015 the Flagship Store was inaugurated in the heart of Chelsea on the King’s Road, serving as a window into the world of LEMA. Today, LEMA is one of the major Made in Italy players in contract, hospitality and retail where it has built a reputation for quality, efficiency and innovative solutions.

In 2022, LEMA inaugurated a brand new spacious corporate office in Sydney Street, a few steps away from the Flagship Store, further increasing its presence in this important market.
