		<description><![CDATA[Willowlamp is known primarily for its hanging lights – dramatic suspended creations that form the center point of a space. However, the lighting company also has a reputation for innovation and creativity, which dictates that it needs to evolve and explore new avenues of lighting – fresh ways to illuminate an interior and make a statement. Creative director and founder Adam Hoets, in a bid to offer more variety for willowlamp’s design-loving clientele, has accordingly branched out from the signature willowlamp pendant into new territory, and introduced an exciting range of wall-mounted designs. These four stand-alone sconces provide homeowners with greater flexibility than ever before when planning their interior schemes. The all-new wall-mounted lamps facilitate a new design dynamic between directional lighting, artworks and objet d’art, allowing for more exciting décor possibilities. willowlamp’s new wall-mounted designs are as follows: StreamWave StreamWave continues the clean, linear direction Hoets started exploring with an earlier suspended piece, the Lineal, back in 2019. This new wall-mounted piece plays with your perception – appearing to transform when viewed from different angles. Named for the way it evokes the feeling of movement, this striking new piece is illuminated by 20 LEDs and can be remodeled according [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[willowlamp’s citrus-inspired statement piece Known primarily for its signature large-scale art pieces, willowlamp’s most recent designs were conceived to cater to smaller spaces and offer the same design impact in a more versatile way. ‘I decided that the new collection needed to include beautiful and sculptural lighting designs that were accessible to a wider audience &#8211; not everyone who wants a statement piece has the space for something on the larger end of the scale,’ says Adam Hoets, Founder and Creative Director of willowlamp. For these new smaller pieces he looked around him for cues, the result of which is a collection of forms inspired by the exciting design capacity of nature. The A-Peal pendant is proof that creative impetus can be found in even the most commonplace of objects. The inspiration behind this particular design was the simple everyday beauty of a naartjie peel – the irregular rind of the peeled fruit inspiring the playful curved shape. The design process too was organic. ‘While we were working on the piece in the factory I noticed how when the chains were cut and dropped down they created another tier, so we decided to do two versions – a single and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Forming part of award-winning lighting design company willowlamp’s expanding collection of exquisite pendants and chandeliers, the Love Clover range is a suite of charming yet elegant hanging lights that pay homage to the botanical beauty and keepsake; the four-leaf clover. Each of the four distinctive designs in the new range conveys the serendipitous feelings associated with finding a four-leaf clover. According to willowlamp’s Founder and Creative Director, Adam Hoets, the Love Clover range was inspired by a run in the mountain where he and his fiancé [now his wife] happened across fields of clovers. “Since that day, she encouraged me to use the shape of the four-leaf clover in my work.” Baby Love Initially, only one lighting design bearing this distinctive motif was planned, but then Hoets decided to expand the range to three pendants and one chandelier. The challenge came in when trying to capture the sense of joy that is associated with clovers, while still creating sophisticated designs. “As cute and cheerful as four-leaf clovers are, it took me a long time to translate them into three-dimensional objects that were interesting,” Hoets says. “Eventually, through trial and error, the solution presented itself in what is now a four-piece [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Willowlamp’s latest large custom-designed chandelier, the extraordinary Enchanted Forest, is a focal piece of grand proportions. This 18-square meter masterpiece was commissioned by Rene Dekker Interiors and conceptualised for a private residence in London. An open brief from the client allowed the willowlamp team free rein to interpret and develop the concept. “The client supplied us with several conceptual mood boards and an organic conceptual drawing of two massive ceiling-mounted installations placed in a large, open-plan dining and lounge room,” says willowlamp founder and creative director, Adam Hoets. “The larger of the two installations was to be positioned above the lounge zone and the smaller above the dining room table,” he explains. The project really started taking form when the client saw willowlamp’s Faraway Tree pendant and fell in love. The fantastical Faraway Tree has its roots in the graphic representations of trees in architectural drawings. This then served as the inspiration for the new bespoke design and it evolved into an ‘enchanted forest’ of architectural proportions with a series of spiraling and interwoven tree branches suspended at multiple levels. Due to the sheer size of the design, the production process was divided into separate modular elements that need to be pieced together on-site. The main [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Created by willowlamp, the Spiral Nebula chandelier is a striking example of the beauty and versatility of the design studio’s patented ball-chain notch system. The ball-chain curtain cascades in spirals from the ceiling in a design inspired by nature’s most beautiful organic forms. The Spiral Nebula forms part of willowlamp’s Nebula Art collection, which combines precise technical craftsmanship with progressive design flair. A willowlamp is timeless yet functional and brings light and life to any environment. The chandelier uses G4 halogen and LED lighting systems to emit a gentle glow from the dramatic drop. The length can be adjusted to your unique site conditions. The ball-chain is available in standard colours: smoke, copper, brass, rust, red, white and black, or the Pantone colour of your choice. willowlamp was established in 2005 and is led by Adam Hoets, Cape Town’s leading lighting designer whose passion for all things beautiful infuses every willowlamp creation. When you invest in a willowlamp, it will be a true investment in style, creativity and individual expression. Visit www.willowlamp.com for more details.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Willowlamp’s singular luminaire designs are conceived by the company’s creative director Adam Hoets. Originally an architect, Hoets has a solid grasp on structural design. After exploring Africa, he grew increasingly in awe of the continent’s wild beauty and on returning to South Africa, practiced as an Eco-Architect. He specialized in structures that would harmoniously blend into their natural surroundings – a trait that has followed through to willowlamp, the craft that has captured Hoets’ (and a large following’s) attention since 2005. willowlamp includes a collection of extraordinary chandeliers, pendants and lampshades given birth to by Hoets’ ingenious idea of attaching ball-chain to laser-cut steel frames. The chains hang in such a way that creates a curtain-like effect, swaying elegantly by the slightest manipulation. Hoets’ fascination with design and patterns has resulted in his acute understanding of sacred geometry – patterns on which many of his designs are based. The Flower of Life chandelier can be seen hanging in the Mena House Hotel in Giza, Egypt – a stone throw away from the Great Pyramid of Giza, where, incidentally, the geometric shape of The Flower of Life was found engraved inside its walls. Sacred geometry is characterised by intensely intricate patterns [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   Since its inception in 2005, willowlamp, with architect Adam Hoets at the reigns, has pioneered an innovative method of producing highly intricate and unique decorative lighting designs by attaching ball-chain to laser-cut steel frames, using geometry and nature’s &#8216;blueprint&#8217; as inspiration. The result is a vast collection of lampshades, pendants and chandeliers that can today be seen suspended from the ceilings of globally renowned hospitality, retail and commercial sites. Perpetually inspired, Hoets is evolving not only his existing designs, but his vision for future designs too. Latest to willowlamp’s collection, is the Mandala No.2 (a second edition to a previous design called The Mandala)  and the Geometric Storm limited edition that stemmed from fresh inspiration. The two chandeliers were revealed at the recent 100% Design South Africa where Adam Hoets won the Award for Best Lighting Design. The Mandala No.2 is an adapted version of The Mandala (a design Hoets developed for Southern Guild and launched at the Everaard Reed Gallery in 2012). Completely captivated by the intricacies of sacred geometry, Adam based the new design on sacred Islamic geometry. “I spent over 400 hours drawing and decoding Islamic patterns and geometry, until I nearly went mad. This, to [...]]]></description>
