When Adam Hoets, Creative Director and founder of willowlamp, conceived his most recent collection of pieces for the brand, it was with the idea of increasing his repertoire to include different slants on his first foundational pieces. “The way people live these days, few of them have room for extraneous objects, and so what is in a space needs to count.  I therefore decided to focus my attention on some fabulous works of art,” says Hoets. The Crystal Mandala falls into this category. The Mandala theme has become something of a hallmark for Hoets, whose fascination with sacred geometry and the forms inherent in nature have inspired much of his work. Taking elements from the original designs – their strong geometric influence and graphic silhouettes – the Crystal Mandala develops these concepts further and streamlines them into something more dynamic. “Geometry is how nature is structured, so the more perfect a geometric construct the closer it gets to mirroring nature in its purest abstract form,” says Hoets.

		<description><![CDATA[Spice Route Wines has once again performed exceptionally well at the National Wine Challenge awards, with five of its wines receiving top honours. The premier event, now in its seventh successful year, was held on 26 April 2017 in Cape Town and played host to some of South Africa’s leading fine wines. The National Wine Challenge pays homage to South Africa’s Top 100 wines each year and scores them across its stellar categories. Each wine is objectively and independently assessed ensuring great care and professional diligence. Independent auditors are enlisted to review the results and validate the selection process. Spice Route dominated the Double Platinum/Top 100 category, with its Amos Block Perpetual Reserve NV, Saffron Rosé 2016 and Terra de Bron Grenache 2015 each receiving an award. The Grand Cru National ‘Best in Class’ award went to both the spectacular Amos Block Perpetual Reserve NV and exotic Saffron Rosé 2016. Two of Spice Route’s most popular flagship wines, the Malabar 2013 and Chakalaka 2014, were awarded Double Gold. This fine selection of wines is available at the Spice Route Tasting Room located at Spice Route Destination in Paarl.
