Op art (optical art) developed in the 1960s as an artistic style that used geometric shapes to generate optical illusions. With a nod to the genre, designer Remedios Simón created Spiro, a charismatic pendant whose frame contains a mass of irregular wood veneer spirals.
Available in different outer shell versions (cherrywood, large acrylic white or black, medium acrylic white or black), Spiro is an impressive light with an enchanting aura. Similar to op art, Spiro plays with the physiology and psychology of human perception, its charm utterly irresistible.
LZF Lamps, founded in 1994 near Valencia by Mariví Calvo and Sandro Tothill, pioneered “enveloping light” in wood veneer. Today, the brand crafts sculptural, sustainable designs that blend artistry and warmth, celebrated worldwide.
Remedios Simón studied Fine Arts in Valencia. It was at that point she was able to focus attention on sculpture, a discipline she had in mind since her first day of school. For Remedios, notions of volume and space, textures and materials, influenced her way of thinking. Her pieces were sculptural, with shapes that were solid and firm. In recognition of her work, Remedios received several awards, and won project grants and contest selections. She began teaching at the School of Arts and College of Design in Alcoy, Spain. Remedios created the Spiro pendant for LZF.
