Stefan Lawrence x Twentieth Galley

Twentieth owner Stefan Lawrence has always existed in the creative space. “I grew up in an artistic home with work from both my parents on display,” he says. “From my earliest memories I was encouraged to participate and went on to receive a BFA in college.” After working as a commercial and editorial photographer in New York, Lawrence moved to Los Angeles, and founded the design gallery whose name was inspired by the mid-century modern aesthetic in 1999.

Even before Twentieth’s complete transition to contemporary design, Lawrence was relentless in his search for new talent starting with Moooi, Tom Dixon, Established & Sons, and Droog in the early 2000s, and continuing today with emerging designers such as Christopher Boots, Julian Mayor, Bec Brittain and Videre Licet, among others.
