Lobel Modern, Inc.

          Lobel Modern was established by Evan Lobel in NYC in 1998 to promote important 20th century designers whose originality and exceptional craftsmanship and materials transformed their works into art. The gallery showcases period furniture, lighting, art, decorative arts and timepieces. Lobel Modern has since become a critical resource for designers, architects, and collectors the world over. Featured designers include Karl Springer, Gabriella Crespi, Philip and Kelvin LaVerne, Paul Evans, Vladamir Kagan, Tommi Parzinger, Edward Wormley, Harvey Probber and Anzolo Fuga. Evan Lobel values scholarship and research and is a specialist in the designers Lobel Modern carries. He has an extensive archive of historical information and has been involved in numerous projects and publications.
 
In 2013 Evan Lobel started collaborating with Kelvin LaVerne to write the comprehensive reference book on the full breadth of works of Philip and Kelvin LaVerne from 1959 to 1987. As father and son artists, the LaVernes collaboration resulted in hundreds of unique and complex artworks in bronze and pewter, some engraved, others cast and still others hand-brazed. ALCHEMY: THE ART OF PHILIP AND KELVIN LAVERNE, released in October 2024, is a comprehensive testament to the important of these artist-designers who brought history, artisanship, and innovation into conversation with functional design and art.
