Ashley Manzo

Keys to a Successful Project:
Teamwork, collaboration, mindfulness, and creativity.

I enjoy spending time with friends, exercising, walking along the lake, and trying new restaurants around the city.

Favorite Haworth Collection Piece:
Cassina LC2 by Le Corbusier
What Is Special About It:
Le Corbusier was one of the many architects who inspired me and allowed me to idolize the modernist design style. The leather feel and tubular steel are incredibly iconic. I hope to have a sitting room some day fully furnished with Le’s pieces.
