Lemon's pieces are elegantly simple, designed for everyday use and admiration. They evoke nostalgia and romance while staying true to the traditions of master craftsmen.
The Conservatory Collection offers a window to a bygone era, when conservatories and orangeries were sanctuaries of peace and quiet, seamlessly blending the indoors with the natural world.
Inspired by the atmospheric interiors of film and literature, Yaniv Chen reinterprets the glamour of 1920s Art Deco through a restrained, modern lens. With softened corners and rhythmic brass detailing, the Various Positions Wall Server balances architectural lightness with quiet theatricality, framing objects and artwork almost ceremonially.
The La Plume is an armchair that epitomises generosity and warmth, crafted with an unwavering emphasis on unparalleled comfort.
The shape of the Observer nightstand is inspired by a fond childhood memory of designer Yaniv Chen. In his grandmother’s bedroom, her nightstand was a small but charming fixture—topped with night creams, a rotating pile of half‑read books, her gold cat‑eye reading glasses, and, most intriguing of all, a silver, eye‑shaped jewellery box. Quietly gleaming, the box seemed to hold a certain appeal, its presence felt without needing to shout for attention.
Inspired by his fascination with the aesthetic allure of 1920's interiors depicted in films and literature, Yaniv Chen endeavours to capture this essence in the Various Positions nightstand.
This Florens Wall Sconce emerges from an intersection of the Constructivist and Art Deco movements. It reflects Yaniv Chen’s investigation into parallel design developments occurring across Europe during the early twentieth century. The work investigates points of convergence between the two movements.

We hold a deep appreciation for all that is made by hand. The pieces in our collection are crafted to outlast us, remaining sturdy despite the telltale signs of use and affection.
