Portrait of Jeremy Levitt
i. Biography
He is direct about design language: "We don't like the term 'industrial chic.'"
The Path
Principal at Parts and Labor Design and president of Levitt Group are paired roles that put Jeremy Levitt across both studio-level design decisions and the larger management of a design practice. The work reads with the discipline of an architect: spaces are shaped with control, and the business side is carried with the same clarity. In both posts, the standard is plain language, measured judgment, and an unwillingness to let loose terminology stand in for a real point of view.
The Work Today
Restraint is central to the way Levitt approaches design. At Parts and Labor Design and Levitt Group, Jeremy Levitt pushes against labels that can reduce a project to a trendline before the work has a chance to speak. That position points to a practice built on precision rather than gloss, where atmosphere, materiality, and execution have to hold together without forcing the result into a convenient category.
In Their Words “The term 'industrial' is becoming overused.”
