Fitz and Su Sazama founded Fitzsu, with a focus on contemporary design, shortly after getting married and “becoming disappointed that there was no single store offering the modern design pieces we wanted.” Brands include Alessi, Holmegaard, Vipp, and When Objects Work. To date, Fitzsu has hosted more than 1,000 registries from all over the world (see an album of photos here).
