Lazenby Design Associates maintain an ethos of detailed visualization as the key to creating great exhibits. With so many parties of varying technical and creative understanding working together on a project, effective visual material is vital in order to develop and communicate the design intent.

With many years of experience in the actual construction and project management of exhibits, Lazenby have a wealth of knowledge of specialist fabrication techniques and materials, a sound understanding of associated technical elements and the ability to produce design and specification that is inherently 'buildable' and cost effective.

Lazenby Design Associates have a well-equipped contemporary design studio in the heart of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales region of the United Kingdom. While we are somewhat 'in the wild', we are only 8km from the city of Harrogate and it's fast national links. We also have convenient regional and international connections at nearby Leeds or Manchester airports.
