Design Indaba 2011 Nebula Collection

Willowlamp Launched two new designs 'eliptical nebula' and 'spiral nebula' at the 2011 design Indaba. These pieces are indended as illuminated artistic sculptural pieces and are an attempt to turn lighting design into art & sculpture but still be a manufacturable item.

These works were designs by Adam Hoets and produced at willowlamps new factory space in Jeppestown johannesburg. The design is inspired by spiraling forms in nature from the very small to the very large... from seashells to spiral galaxies.

willowlamp goes to Las Vegas and NYC

Since showing the work in Germany at Ambiente, we continue to develop our export relationships through another trade fair.
On 14-18 May 2010 we showed with Amaridian gallery at the ICFF in New York City. Adam and Sian were lucky enough to get to NYC for the exhibition and meet some of their faraway clients.

NEW LED Rose design

Our ceiling mounted ROSE LED chandelier is one of the pieces we get asked about the most.

Below are some images of the ROSE taken just after the re-developed design was completed. We hope you like the new looped chain 'petals' as much as we do....

NEW Êla Collection

Droplet 1000mm diameter in Silver/Chrome

Willowlamp is proud to introduce a new collection: Êla. Inspired by water and named after the Sotho word for flow, Êla embodies the characteristics which typify Willowlamp’s style: a marriage between organic forms and industrial materials, craft and design.

Droplet is the first piece from this new collection. Created out of a set of cascading steel rings, the piece was inspired by droplets of water, both in its overall shape and in the detail of the tassels of chain which make up the chandelier.

Further designs for the collection are already in the works!!

Willowlamp's largest chandelier yet!

We were recently asked to produce our famous Flower of Life Chandelier for a hotel in Cairo, but in a custom size. The result is this custom made, 2.7 meter diameter Flower of Life Chandelier.

It really is a thrill to see how far we can push the materials we use and our manufacturing capabilities. And of course, it wouldn't have been possible without the help of our amazing Willowlamp team.
