KANZ Architects in Venice, is a multidisciplinary design studio founded in Venice in 2014 by Antonella Maione and Mauro Cazzaro, ranging from design to restoration of residential architecture, commercial interior design, temporary exhibition design to product design.
They believe that the work of the designer is the foundation of the construction of any complex object. Whether it is a building or a product, material or conceptual, they address issues at very different scales. They do it with the same experimental approach and with the same attention to detail and to the potential of processing techniques and materials.

KANZ Architects in Venice is also famous for product design…

In the product design area, in addition to collaborations with companies of complements and lighting, they develop the idea of combining the design activity with a close collaboration with local artisan companies, in order to realize an independent production.

They work in close contact with artisans who are open to research, in order to learn their history, techniques and working methods, enriching each project with a narrative.
The objects that result from this journey in the creative process do not have the character of unique pieces, but are linked to reality, combining the potential of material and technique, with the idea of beauty and functionality. They explore traditional techniques to create forms suitable for contemporary living. At the same time they pay particular attention to the relationship between innovation and technical possibilities. They are aware that the knowledge of the latter, is the basis of any possible experimentation.
In 2016, the production of Kanz Architects becomes the reason that animates the birth of the brand KANZ.
