Ribbon Cutting: LZF Lamps

Generations of manufacturers have looked to wood for its strength. What LZF Lamps sees is primarily the litheness. This lighting specialist challenged designers to use its patented Pollywood veneer to shape the illuminated sculptures of a collection called Light and Nature. For the Agatha pendant fixture, Luis Eslava Studio fashioned ribbons into swirls twirling down from a chromed canopy. Victor Carrasco's Tilt floor lamp fuses two cylinders into one off-kilter form. And base flows seamlessly into shade with Ray Power's Air table lamp. Offered in two sizes and several finishes, each accepts incandescent or compact fluorescent bulbs. 34-96-252-47-80; lzf-lamps.com. circle 410
