Welcome to the neighborhood, Lazzoni. This new high-end furniture store recently took over the Buckhead space previously occupied by Huff Furniture. Its Peachtree Road digs mark the family-owned company’s fifth showroom in the U.S. and are part of an overall plan to expand to 25 showrooms nationwide in the next five years. The century-old company, which launched in Turkey, has evolved from making tree houses to window treatments and kitchen projects. Today, Lazzoni’s highend modern furniture serves a range of clients, from luxe hotels and offices to homeowners living in condos or mansions. The company even boasts its own hotel in Istanbul that is furnished with its products. lazzoni.com/us/
