The Milanese design Studio Lorenz +
Kaz, was founded in 2001 by Catharina Lorenz and Steffen Kaz, both
German designers living and working in Italy since the mid Nineties.
What characterises their creativity is their sustained quest for
perfection and a hybrid “nordic- italian” imprint of their designs;
aware of its origins and always willing to transform and evolve into
something new and innovative. The international multidisciplinary team
is working in the fields of furniture design, industrial design,
exhibition and interior design, brand installations and graphic design
with a special focus on art direction.
Renowned
firms and brands like De Padova, Alcantara, Karl Küfner, DuPont™
Corian®, General Motors, Colé and Rossin have all confided in the skills
and creativity of Lorenz + Kaz. Furthermore, the designers’ projects
are part of the collections of companies like Zeitraum,
OmniDecor®, Antonio Lupi, Sitap and Bedont. Beyond these prestigious
collaborations, Catharina Lorenz and Steffen Kaz are designing,
producing and commercialising their own Lorenz + Kaz branded collection.
Their
work received several international awards including the Red Dot Best of
Best Design Award, Germany, Chicago Athenaeum Good Design Award USA,
German Design Award Special Mention and furthermore their work is part
of prestigious international exhibitions.
