Mariví Calvo is the main partner and creative director of LZF, a company she co-founded together with Sandro Tothill in 1994. Designing and making handmade wood veneer lighting fixtures, LZF would grow to become an internationally acclaimed concern. An experienced avant-garde artist, Mariví has developed and directed all aspects of LZF’s creative art department. She has designed a number of lamps that are emblematic of LZF’s imaginative approach to lighting, including the Guijarros, Gea and Cosmos collections, and the majestic Candelabroas well as collaborating in the creation of the Totem and Armadillo and Koi lamps. In addition, Mariví is responsible for the design of every LZF exhibit and creates the company’s prizewinning campaigns. Irish-born designer Ray Power has collaborated with LZF Lamps since 1998. With an inventive approach to lighting design, he has created many of LZF’s best known lights. Ray’s Air (2008), Link (2007) and New Wave (2015) lamps for LZF were awarded the Red Dot, Chicago Good Design and Chicago Green Good Design awards respectively. Most recently, his Swirl pendant was accorded a 2017 Special Mention by the German Design Council. Ray’s work has been exhibited on the international stage: in Milan, Valencia, Dublin, Madrid and Tokyo. His trademark style is based on geometry and he shows an inherent propensity to create stirring three-dimensional forms with flat materials.
