Sozou means ‘primitive shape’ in Japanese. The studio bases its design on the study of basic, simple and familiar forms/shapes with the desire to formulate a design language that can be interpreted, shared and felt by all.
Each object is hand made and finished in Melbourne, Australia, to ensure the highest quality and to enhance the emotion-centric studio philosophy.
ALMOST DISAPPEARING
The series is crafted from patinated brass, Japanese paper and Australian blackwood – materials chosen to celebrate raw texture and the cultural diversity of our time. Gentle light that diffuses by the paper also suits with different aesthetic spaces and does not overwhelm. This collection aims to enrich space in a sensitive way through the delivery of lighting that subtly speaks to nature, personal memory and design nostalgia.
Nicole Lawrence (b. 1993) is a Melbourne-based designer and maker specialising in furniture and lighting. Balancing structural purpose with artistic freedom, Lawrence draws on her technical expertise from over a decade of working with a myriad of materials and her process-led methodology to create contemporary, collectible pieces.
Launched as part of Milan Design Week 2025. Solace is a luminous glass tear that transforms with movement, revealing two distinct identities in light and form.
Armadillo’s Panorama collection evokes the sweeping landscape of an old-world homestead perched in the bucolic hills, with an exquisite melange of weaves that redefine sophisticated comfort. From the cocooning to the free flowing, each space layered with this tapestry of textures becomes a true haven.
At it’s heart, LF Fabrics stands for authenticity, craftsmanship and responsibility. The new 2026 collections embody these values, showcasing the material and origin of the craft through elegant, timeless fabrics.
