Since 1992, Lazou has specialized in furniture and decorative object design for Greek companies. He's a founding member of the Athens Secretariat of Industrial Design, an active participant in exhibitions, and an esteemed educator at Athens' TEI's and A.K.T.O.

Lazou is also a key member of Schemata, a Greek design group established in 2003, known for their philosophical depth and commitment to creating groundbreaking, functional, and beautiful contemporary designs that distinctly move beyond traditional Greek aesthetics.
