Swirl SG Pendant Light

Swirl SG Pendant Light – wood veneer designer light by LZF Lamps Valencia

Sculptural elegance in real wood, made in the LZF manufactory in Valencia. Die Swirl SG Pendant Light von LZF Lamps is a handmade Pendant Light made of thin, translucent wood veneer. By day it is a sculptural design object with a lively grain – switched on, it transforms into a warmly glowing light sculpture that bathes any room in filtered, very cosy light.

Swirl SG is the large, prestigious version – its sweeping spiral form makes it the ideal light for high rooms and generous dining tables.

Design & inspiration

The Swirl family is a manifesto of the LZF manufactory. A single strip of wood veneer becomes a swinging, almost textile spiral – a form that embodies movement and stillness at the same time. The play of opposing loops lets the light wander in countless reflections and makes each light a solitaire.

The designer – Ray Power

Ray Power is an Irish-born designer who has been working with LZF Lamps in Valencia since 1998. His designs combine organic, often playful forms with the brand’s characteristic thin wood veneer.

Material & workmanship – the LZF manufactory

The wood veneer used is only a few tenths of a millimetre thin – so thin that the light of the lamp shines through it and makes the natural grain of the wood visible to everyone. Behind this seemingly simple effect lies an elaborate in-house process: the veneer sheets are pressed, hardened, cut and shaped using the characteristic LZF technique. Every step is done by hand, making each shade unique.

LZF uses wood veneer from FSC-certified sources. The coloured veneers are dyed with lightfast, low-solvent stains, so the wood stays alive and breathable. When switched on, the shade turns into a warm, vibrant light source – not a glaring point of light, but a filtered, very cosy light.

Use & effect

The Swirl SG Pendant Light comes into its own above the dining table (suspension height approx. 70–90 cm above the table edge), above a coffee table or kitchen island. As a multiple cluster above long tables, in a stairwell or in open-plan living and dining areas, it is also a very atmospheric solution. Recommendation: warm white LED light bulb (2200–2700 K) for a cosy light.

Available in 10 wood veneers

Each shade is made in Valencia from real wood veneer in true manufactory tradition – no two pieces are alike. Choose your favourite in the drop-down below:

About LZF Lamps – wood veneer from Valencia

LZF Lamps is a Spanish manufactory from Valencia, founded in 1994 by Mariví Calvo and Sandro Tothill. From a small workshop, LZF has grown into one of the world’s most renowned wood veneer manufactories for designer lights. The lights are still made entirely in Valencia to this day – each shade is unique, shaped by the individual grain of the wood.

More about the manufactory and all designs on the official website of LZF Lamps.

The heart of every LZF product is the ultra-thin wood veneer, prepared using a special in-house technique. It is cut, folded by hand, pressed and joined – without templates, without automated lines. This manufacturing method allows exceptional freedom of form and ensures that the material retains its natural character: warm grain, slight colour variations and the unmistakable vibrancy of real wood.

LZF lights are handmade in Valencia (Spain). Every piece is designed to last – the opposite of interchangeable mass-produced goods. Discover more models from the LZF collection or browse our range of Designer-Pendant Lights, Floor lamps, Table lamps and Wall lights.
