For his solo exhibition at the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza, Álvaro Siza designed Lorosae. A timeless design from 1999, featuring translucent glass in different pure and brilliant finishes, while the white inner part of the diffuser preserves the natural colour of the light.
Born in 1933 a few kilometers from Porto, Álvaro Siza graduated in architecture in 1955 at the University of Porto. He stands as one of the leading exponents of Portuguese architecture.
