Founded in 2013 in Graz 13&9 is a product design firm based on the partnership between architect Martin Lesjak and designer Anastasia Su (Dr. Anastasija Lesjak). 13&9 is both a design studio for international companies – BUZZISPACE, MOHAWK GROUP, QUINZE & MILAN, LANDE, ARTIFORT, WEVER & DUCRÉ, ROBERT LA ROCHE, XAL, VITEO OUTDOORS – and its own label that designs, produces and sells their own products. The transdisciplinary team’s successful cooperation with specialist partners has led to achievements in furniture, lighting, floor coverings, fashion, accessories and art objects, as well as exhibition and sound design projects. 13&9’s work relies on the interplay between architecturally-inspired forms as well as fashion and explores the approaches of different design disciplines. Based on the interaction between its founders – architects, product and fashion designers – interdisciplinary thought is encouraged in every project.
