What?

Lzf lamps, or Luzifer as we were originally called, is a small company making very special lights for very special people. Founded at the end of 1994, this company has been making handmade lights exclusively out of wood veneer right from it’s beginnings. This noble material creates a spectacular lighting effect, projecting the internal beauty of the wood and radiating a delicately warm and attractive atmosphere to both domestic and contract settings. Winner of two Good Design, two Design Plus and one Red Dot prize, LZF has found its place amongst niche market suppliers worldwide.

Who?

The company was founded by Marivi Calvo and Sandro Tothill in 1994. Art Director Marivi Calvo leads a team of freelance designers who make up the Lzf family. Burkhard Dämmer, Victor Carrasco, Oskar Cerezo, Miguel Herranz, Ray Power, Bang Design, and Luis Eslava Studio all collaborate on a regular basis with Lzf. Calvo also coordinates a team of graphic designers, both inside and outside of the company; in Barcelona Lekuonastudio coordinates image strategy with Calvo using resources such as Inocuo the sign, as well as Lo Siento design studios to add spice where needed. Tothill keeps the machine greased and running, coordinating the commercial and production side with the design side. He also coordinates the Lzf blog as well as the amateur photography and music where included.

Where?

Lzf began at home in the lounge room, from there we went to the garage, then to a basement workshop, an old enameling plant and finally our present headquarters a converted winery on the outskirts of the village of Chiva in the province of Valencia, Spain.
