At willowlamp, we believe in the power of collaboration and the beauty of shared creativity. We were honoured when our founder, Adam Hoets, was invited by OKHA to join a panel of exceptional local design talent for the Convergence of Creativity discussion. This event, held as part of Cape Town Furniture Week in February, brought together some of South Africa’s most renowned designers and artists, including OKHA’s Adam Court, Jan Ernst, Water Dixon, Vitalli, Zander Blom, and Stevenson Gallery, for an engaging discussion led by Bielle Bellingham.

The panel discussion centered on the inspirations and processes that drive the global appeal of South African design. It was a celebration of the unique creativity and craftsmanship that our country offers to the world. Adam Hoets shared insights into how willowlamp’s bespoke lighting designs are created, emphasizing our commitment to high-quality materials, artisanal craftsmanship, and the enduring elegance of our pieces.
