2 TRANSVERSALITY Miami collection - Manuela Simonelli & Andrea Quaglio

3 Established by René Adda in 1991, Lexon is driven by the passion to give birth to unique, attractive, simple, innovative and affordable objects for our modern life.

An immediate answer to feelings and needs, allowing a quick change of missions required, skilled as a fine urban companion.. Marta

9 Christian Ghion Christian Ghion's design always brings the feeling of an invitation to taking pleasure seriously, even though it may be discreet at the same time: a genuine design mission. Mozaïk becomes part of that story, confronting elegance and the daily use of elementary electronics.
