1. LZF: LOLA Lamp
Designed by longtime LZF collaborator Ray Power, LOLA features a
conical shade with an intricate geometric pattern paired with
transparent acrylic supports to cast as little shadow as possible
onto the shade. "Lola required lots of designing and re-designing to
get the wood veneer strips to give the right proportions in the
shades," Power says. "In the end, we've managed to make a
collection of shades that work really well together."
