This custom chandelier is monumental; the one-of-a-kind piece requires an impressive 26 cubic meters of hanging space and weighs over a tonne. Though it now hangs magnificently over a curving staircase in the hotel’s lobby area, it originated on the other side of the Atlantic! This lighting piece journeyed all the way from Cape Town, where it was created by leading South African-based lighting company, willowlamp to take its place as the talking point of this leading hotel. willowlamp’s award-winning founder and Creative Director Adam Hoets was commissioned by Fabiola Troncoso, an Associate at Chicago’s Simeone Deary Design Group, on behalf of Marriott International in 2018. This was not Hoets’s first commission from the Simeone Deary Design Group &#8211; in 2014, the US design firm commissioned willowlamp’s Flower of Life chandeliers for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Murano glass chandeliers imported from Italy have long been the lighting design of choice for upscale residences in Kuwait. But a desire to illuminate an interior with an original pendant piece that breaks away from the market norm, has led a Kuwaiti homeowner to look further than the traditional chandeliers available locally. The solution was to import a custom-made willowlamp from South Africa that in itself is a piece of art. Taking inspiration from nature, willowlamp’s organic aesthetic provides a refreshing contrast to more classic chandeliers and thus paves the way for a new contemporary style of lighting in Kuwait. After seeing an image of willowlamp’s Mandala chandelier installed in Abu Dhabi’s Liwa Suites hotel, the client was struck by the technical skill demonstrated by the Cape-Town based design company to produce multi-dimensional geometric patterns using chains alone. He then approached willowlamp to design a version of this piece for his own home.
