Founded in 1966, LSA is a London-based design studio specialising in contemporary tableware, vases and decorative pieces. The company combines original design with traditional craft to create high-quality, award-winning products. LSA is a family business based on a culture of understanding: of design and craft, of people and products, with a design whose aim is to understand the purpose and environment of a product. The company has a conscious approach to create pieces with intrinsic value, to be used and enjoyed year after year. The approach is guided by the way people live, through a considered balance of form, function and aesthetic design. LSA International seeks to create products which enhance the simple rituals of daily life, and the prototypes are made to test different concepts and techniques. Shapes are refined, proportions balanced and colours selected with meticulous attention to detail to create the finished product.
LSA: A craftsmanship approach
Through the skilled use of tools and an understanding of high-quality raw materials, LSA European craftsmen use traditional techniques to transform mouth-blown glass, porcelain and wood into products of intrinsic value. After basic forms are blown, each piece is finished accordingly using a range of detailed processes. The experience with the material enables to experiment and push the boundaries of hand production, using the craftsmanship and skill of European producers. Inspired by the potential of materials and conscious of provenance and craft, the intention of the company is to create useful, relevant products which endure in quality and style. A thoughtful and sustainable approach which goes beyond form and function to create something considered, something of value. The focus of LSA includes investment in solutions which address environmental issues and a consciousness of what it is created and how.
