Pizza and Lexus – The Perfect Pairing in the Monogram Lexus GX
To celebrate the debut of the all-new 2024 Lexus GX, Lexus has teamed up with luxury appliance brand Monogram to create a unique concept vehicle: the Monogram GX. This bespoke vehicle is designed for culinary, wine, and spirits enthusiasts, and will make its official debut at the Food & Wine Classic, June 14-16 in Aspen, CO.
A Fusion of Luxury and Off-Roading
“Our all-new Lexus GX was designed to highlight the unique duality of luxury and off-roading capability, enabling our guests to create amazing experiences on the road,” said Cynthia Tenhouse, vice president of Lexus marketing. “Together with Monogram, Lexus is taking the GX experience to a new level, where road adventures meet culinary experiences.”
“This unique pairing of unexpected luxury cooking while away from home is created with signature pieces from Monogram that elevate the everyday,” said Julie Burns, executive director of Monogram appliances. “The Monogram GX puts an entirely new spin on the road trip experience with a crafted, culinary journey.”
Design Collaboration and Inspiration
Inspired by the Monogram Designer Collection, Lexus and Monogram collaborated with celebrated interior designer Richard T. Anuszkiewicz and the industrial design team at Monogram. This partnership aimed to elevate the vehicle’s refined style and proportions, showcasing a story on materiality and entertainment. The Monogram GX features:
Two-toned camel leather custom patterned interior
Emphasis on brass and titanium metal
