LZF is a story of people, wood and light and the result of a peculiar encounter between
two strangers. When they met, they both loved their hands and what they were capable
of doing with them. Both shared a passion for the arts, for ideas, and experimenting.
They coincided in their way of living and their very distinct view of the world. With an
absolute belief that everything you feel can be materialised, they began to experiment.
Till one night, playing with some wood veneers, they managed to envelop light. LZF
was born.
It was in 1993 when these two strangers met. She was a painter, arriving back in Spain
having left New York: her name was Mariví Calvo. He was an Australian musician
discovering Spain: his name was Sandro Tothill. Strangers have the ability to alter our
lives and it is on that day they cease to be strangers. These things do not happen every
day. These were the days during which they began to sketch the essence of what is
now the atmosphere of LZF.
Today, LZF is an international brand recognised for its details and its clear and
differentiated image.LZF designs experiences through the use of light, where people
and spaces mix, creating their own unique atmosphere. Designers, craftspersons,
engineers, architects, consultants and interior designers make up the internal engine
behind the creation of these experiences, guaranteeing that each one has its own
unique personality.
Their lamps illuminate thousands of spaces and accompany millions of people. Each
of these lamps is made by hand, with the same passion of enveloping the light that
Marivi and Sandro began with on that afternoon so many years ago.
The book that you hold in your hands collects the thoughts, aesthetics and discoveries
cultivated throughout LZF’s many years. We invite you to know their stories and
through them, to share their vision of life.
