Century Screen
Modern, yet nostalgic. Solid, yet see-through. The new Century Screen from Submaterial elevates any space. Fabricated in walnut or white oak veneer laminated with natural cork and hung in tiles of variable length, the elements of the Century screen are positionable; one can twist and turn the tiles to create the transparency level of their choice. The engaging dimensional surface catches the sunlight and produces dramatic shadows.

Kasa
Kasa is a bijou and rather curious table lamp designed by Eli Gutierrez. The lamp’s rounded wood veneer panel has a slight conical shape, tapering inwards from its edge to a central point.
A metal mushroom-like appendage reflects light onto the panel, which in turn quietly illuminates the surrounding space. An angled metal arm connects the panel to a cylindrical marble base.
Kasa is a decorative lamp with two sides: one is somewhat playful in its demeanour; the other much more reflective.
The Kasa table lamp has an Ivory White interior wood veneer finish and a Natural Cherry exterior finish. The lamp has a Black Marquina Marble base, and metal finishes include Matt Black, Gold, and Ivory White. More

Omma Collection
Omma is an inventive lamp, like a tree with fluttering leaves full of light. In Eli Gutierrez’s prepossessing design, it is almost possible to imagine the lamp’s movable wood veneer, artfully edged with metal, flapping in a gentle breeze. Omma is available as a suspension lamp (with one, two, three, and four leaves), a table lamp (with either one or two leaves), a floor lamp (with a single leaf), and a wall lamp (with a single leaf). Individual leaves will rotate up to 180º, allowing the user to create a range of lighting moods.
The Omma family of lights are available in several wood veneer colours: Natural White, Natural Beech, and Natural Cherry. The lamp’s metal finishes (used to create the spine and to edge... More

Spiro Suspension
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. More

Black Note Triplet Floor
Designed by Ramón Esteve, Black Note is a lamp with perpendicular shades that rise and fall in harmony. Its rhythmic arrangement is inspired by the black keys on a piano, whose sharp and flat notes add emotion and passion to a melody. Black Note’s metallic frame, finished in black, ivory, and gold tones, works harmoniously with its luminous, warm wood veneer shades. Ramón Esteve created three Black Note compositions: Black Note Keys (horizontal), Black Note Triplet(suspension and floor) and Black Note Duplet(wall). These differing compositions, with their rhythmic forms, offer a symphony of light, texture and pattern. More

Iowa State Stark Performance Center
Athletic success isn’t just measured on the field, it is also measured off of it in what student-athletes learn, their diet, their mental wellness, and their preparation for post-collegiate life. The $90m new Stark Performance Center at Iowa State is a shining example of an investment in all of these areas - with the added benefit that its design accentuates the building’s draw. The new sports performance center is part of a reimagining of the facilities that surround Jack Trice Stadium, alongside Bergstrom Football Complex and the Albaugh Family Plaza. The SPC - as it is colloquially known - touts a new Strength and Conditioning area complete with turf and exercise machines , a lounge, a nutrition center, a sports m... More
Birdy
A member of LZF’s Life-Size family, Big Bird joins the happy adventures of Elephant, Fish and Koi. Hovering vertically with fluttering wings, Big Bird has the agile appearance of a gentle hummingbird. Created by the illustrator and designer Isidro Ferrer and built using a traditional craft technique called vareta, Big Bird is a masterly feat of wood craftsmanship. While light radiates from Big Bird’s wooden plumage, a wood veneer globe hangs from its beak, like a ball of glowing nectar. With Big Bird, LZF is once again dreaming big, re-engineering the concept of what a lamp can be, in both shape and scale. More

I-Line’s wood veneer, dimmable LED, and light-filtering diffuser, provide both direct and ambient light. In I-Line, Burkhard Dämmer has created a lamp that is simple, symmetrical and serene. More
Maruja
An original self-assembly pendant, Maruja was designed by the fresh-faced Gazpacho Studio—it is LZF’s first flat-pack fixture. A contemporary lamp, Maruja’s design is simultaneously unfussy and decorative. Maruja is a name whose origins lie in Galicia, and signifies both femininity and strength. The do-it-yourself Maruja is packaged with all the components needed to assemble the lamp: wood veneer strips (in several sizes), a circular frame, and pins. Maruja is easily constructed, without the need for any tools or adhesives. Using a pin, each wooden strip is clipped onto the circular frame—insert a light bulb, and you will have created an elegant, handmade lamp. The wood veneer strips hang and move freely, and wh... More
