		<description><![CDATA[willowlamp will take part in Euroluce at the Salone del Mobile for the first time this April. Renowned on the South African decor scene for its design-forward and inspiring creations, the company has previously showcased at African and Middle Eastern trade shows. Now expanding its reach into Europe’s illustrious design elite, willowlamp will be introducing the Milanese audience to a careful curation of its most striking designs. As the first South African designer lighting company to show its pieces on this prestigious platform, willowlamp cements its status as an innovator and market leader. Founder and creative director Adam Hoets studied architecture which gives his works a complexity and sophistication of structure and concept. ‘My journey began as an architect, which has been invaluable in shaping my ‘design’ mind. I decided on architecture because my reasoning was that I could be an architect and also be an artist but not the other way round,’ he says. Hoets made the transition from architecture to lighting design in 2005 due, in part, to his goal in developing a marketable design-related product. The variety of projects that Hoets has overseen since the inception of willowlamp is evidence of his confluence between architectural and artistic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Willowlamp’s nature-inspired silhouettes and affinity for symmetry have become recognisable hallmarks of the lighting brand’s identity. Now, in a departure for the company, The Link art piece presents a new direction and stylistic development for Founder and Creative Director Adam Hoets. The clean lines and crisp sensibility of the graphic new design gives it a contemporary character, which opens up wider stylistic scope for decorators and homeowners alike. ‘In a way, The Link extends the aesthetic I began to explore with the Geometric Storm, but it is its own unique animal,’ says Hoets. Prompted by the idea of exploring a dynamic intersection of geometric shapes, the structure of The Link finds a balance between delicacy and solidity.‘The contrast between the transparency of the chain and the seemingly solid volumes interested me as an idea,’ explains Hoets. The Link is illuminated by an array of G4 UFO LEDs and comes in a choice of eight different colour options. A dramatic and sculptural geometric design resembling giant abstracted chain links, the piece features two different metallic tones to enhance the sense of three dimensionality. Customisable in that additional links can be added to the chain to create a longer version of the design, The Link can be made even more impactful for [...]]]></description>
