Álvaro Siza

Álvaro Joaquim de Meio Siza Vieira, known simply as Siza, is one of the greatest architects of his generation. Born on June 25, 1933, in Matosinhos, a small coastal town in northern Portugal, Siza studied at the University of Porto under the guidance of Fernando Tavora and opened his studio in 1954, even before completing his studies. In addition to teaching, Siza has worked on numerous architectural projects that have made him famous internationally, earning prestigious awards such as the Pritzker Prize in 1992.

The lamps designed by Siza are an example of sophisticated minimalism, characterized by simple elegance and meticulous attention to detail. His designs are the result of a deep knowledge of the craft, acquired through collaboration with craftsmen and laborers. What makes Siza's lamps unique is the extraordinary quality of the light they emit, thanks to the neutrality and simplicity of the forms.

Among his most recognizable creations are the "Fil" Lamp, characterized by the absence of ornaments, the Flamingo Lamp, with adjustable light to suit the various needs of the user, and the Arco Lamp, a prototype of the Falena Lamp. The "Mecanica" and "Cairo" lamps, produced by different brands, represent a perfect balance between industrial design and craftsmanship. For the Nemo Lighting brand, Siza designed the Lorosae pendant lamp, a timeless design icon characterized by an elegant combination of translucent glass and five different colorations. The Lorosae lamp adapts to any style of decor and offers uniform and pleasant lighting.
