Zaven

Zaven is a design and communication studio founded in Venice in 2006 by Enrica Caverzan and Marco Zavagno. Their creations are often enriched by some experimental or unusual touches: they love to play on the theme of “chubby” design with generous proportions, very popular in recent years, while recurring stylistic features in their work are the “tube” shapes, used each time in a new way, and the play of full and empty spaces in the profiles, with a strong sculptural impact. The result is a bold design with a slightly post-industrial flavor, very recognizable and captivating without giving up a conceptual and committed touch. The Zaven studio has achieved its greatest successes since the late 2010s, a period in which it began important collaborations with some important Italian design brands, from Miniforms to Novamobili, from Bolzan to cc-tapis. Particularly important is their partnership with a historic brand such as Zanotta, which began in 2022 and has brought great success. In 2023, Zaven was selected for the first time among the AD100 by the Italian edition of the famous magazine Architectural Digest and was nominated for the “Designer of the Year” award at the “Elle Decor International Design Awards”.
