Founded in Los Angeles in 2008, Graf Lantz began with a roll of Merino wool and a shared conviction that everyday objects deserve to be made well. Holger Graf brought a structural engineer's rigor, rooted in the German Bauhaus belief that form and function are inseparable. Daniel Lantz, shaped by years immersed in Japan’s Shokunin craft traditions, brought a deep respect for the concept of less, but chosen. What emerged is a design house that believes the best objects earn their place, and then stay there.
