Willowlamp

I have always been a big fan of 'lights' and the bigger and more dramatic the better. The frustrating thing for me usually is the spaces we inhabit are rarely big enough to house a huge, gorgeous light installation such as the ones I found from Willowlamp.
The South African team behind Willowlamp are the design duo 'TeamTwo' Adam Hoets and Sian Eliot. Adam, a registered Architect specialising in Eco Archectecture, and Sian a distinctive voice in the field of jewellery design, are responsible for these beautiful creations.

"Our design ethos fuses organic forms with high tech elements without compromising on the highly personalised level of craftsmanship. We industrially manufacture the elements but each lamp is painstakingly hand-assembled. Each of the hundreds of chain strands are cut and attached by hand. Both artistry and technical development are evident in the pieces. Willowlamps are dynamic – every movement of air can be seen on their surface, suggesting something quite ‘impressionable’ and delicate."
