Roberto Lazzeroni was born in Pisa, and his career is linked to the art and architecture studies he pursued in Florence, and the interest he accumulated during his training as an attentive participant in the phenomena of Conceptual Art and Radical Design. In the early eighties, he made his professional debut with a series of important interior architecture projects that were immediately recognized and published by Italian and foreign magazines. In his words, “Interior architecture is a necessary discipline where one can carry out multiple experiments on the materials used, the techniques, and the problems of the home.”
Receptive to the dialogue between design history and his own work, his ever-distinctive style, which he titles “emotional project,” is genuinely easy to recognize, even for an untrained eye; it is possible to sense the tension between past and future that exists in Roberto Lazzeroni’s design, in which he uses industrial geometry, but also includes aesthetic frivolities, repositioning objects in a story, a tradition, an autobiographical or collective memory.
This is his way of understanding design, which led him to specialize in conceiving real concepts that were behind the birth of the Ceccotti Collezioni brand in 1988. Today, he also creates furniture for various brands, such as the Italian Baxter, Mood (part of the Flexform group), and Giorgetti. Roberto Lazzeroni has a highly dynamic career in which he remains involved on various fronts, with prestigious collaborations, art direction, and interior design projects in various parts of the world.
