Willowlamps are dynamic objects. Even the movement of air can be seen
rippling on their' surfaces – they are at once sensitive to and
integrated into their environment.

About
The willowlamp ™ is the brainchild of the design duo 'TeamTwo' Adam Hoets and Sian Eliot.Sian Eliot studied Industrial Design at the Cape Technikon and is also a jeweller. She has established herself as a distinctive voice in the field of jewellery design through her innovative meshing of traditional skills with technology. She has a natural instinct and understanding for the materials she works with.
Adam Hoets is a registered Architect who has specialised in Eco Architecture since graduating from the University of Cape Town in 2000. His architectural projects have shown a flair for progressive and environmentally sensitive design – a focus that is continued in his collaborative work under the umbrella of Willowlamp.
Adam has an obsessive awareness of the intricacies of the willowlamp's construction. This manifests in a tightly conceptualised and resolved final product that couples aesthetics and sensitivity with technical design.
DESIGN ETHOS
Our design ethos fuses organic forms with high tech elements without compromising on the highly personalised level of craftsmanship. We industrially manufacture the elements but each lamp is painstakingly hand-assembled. Each of the hundreds of chain strands are cut and attached by hand. Both artistry and technical development are evident in the pieces.
