Commissioned by Gallery FUMI for presentation at PAD London , “The Willow Light” by Lara Bohinc  was originally inspired by her visit to a wonderfully overgrown ancient Japanese garden. The abundant wisteria and weeping willow trees seemed to keep hidden secrets beneath their dripping fronds and led Bohinc to adopt a more organic geometrical style to interpret their form with this lamp and its semi-obscured bulb arrangement. “Willow’s form is close to mother nature’s own geometry, adds Lara Bohinc, that always creates harmony from combinations of regularity and random asymmetry.”

During  the  development  of  the  metalwork,  the  oriental  shape  was  further  enriched  with  Victorian  inspirations,  including   exotically   planted   conservatories,   cloistered   archways and heavy cushion tassels.

Each  light  is  constructed  entirely  from  brass  at  Bohinc’s  workshop in  Portugal, the brass is hand blackened to lend the feeling  of  timelessness,  weight  and  ancient  substance  to  its form. Branching out from the central trunk are the nine pendulous florets,  formed  by  elongated  fingerlike  brass  rods,  each  elegantly illuminated by one long LED light nestling at the centre, reminiscent of the long neck of a flower’s style.
