Designers

Kevin Frankental

Kevin is the co-owner and creative director of Lemon. He has a deep appreciation for materials that come from the earth, drawn to their natural textures and enduring qualities. His work is guided by a desire to understand these materials at their core and to shape them into designs that can stand up to the relentless passage of time.

Kevin’s design ethos is anchored in the elusive notion of timelessness. His work explores what it means for a design to feel lasting—beyond trends, beyond eras—and how the essence of a material can carry that sense of permanence.

Yaniv Chen

When talking about Yaniv Chen’s work, it feels most pertinent to discuss emotion. The design process centers around emotional cues from photographs, artwork, architecture and fashion. He hones in on a feeling and translates it through his craft to create a piece of furniture. These places, pictures and landscapes all have a common thread. Worlds are contemplative; fashion is deshevelled; interiors are regal, opulent and derelict. This diverse approach allows the creation of pieces that transcend past, present and future. These pieces reflect the world in which he chooses to live.
