Choose A Rust willowlamp Finish For Timeless Design

A sophisticated way to bring organic, rustic luxury into your home is to choose artful lighting fixtures that are nature-inspired and which use natural materials. The luxury lighting design brand, willowlamp, uses an oxidation process to treat steel frames and other design parts of the fixture along with our unique metal ball chain styling to create a rust willowlamp finish that is then lacquered and sealed to prevent further rusting.

The willowlamp brand has many tree-inspired lighting design collections to choose from with a wide variety of design styles and sizes. Our iconic Enchanted Faraway Tree art piece collection is available in four, eight, and twelve tiers and we’ve produced striking pieces up to sixteen tiers. These sculptural mobiles designs are derived from a series of counterbalancing, bowing tree branches, all suspended from one another down a central trunk. These make a magnificent addition to multi-story voids inside spiral stairways or between landings in high-volume spaces. We encourage our clients to showcase these illuminated artworks through glass windows and panels. If you can, you will want to!

These show stoppers are designed to impress and bring nature indoors using an uplighter dish that casts dramatic, moving shivelight across your ceiling and nearby surfaces to evoke the sense of walking beneath a forest canopy. This design is an evolution of our award-winning and iconic Faraway Tree collection. We love designing and producing our Faraway Trees in a rust willowlamp finish as the end result mimics nature, providing a textured and wooden-like appearance and appeal.

The Faraway Tree Lighting Design

The Faraway Tree lighting design collection was originally designed by Adam Hoets, Founder & Creative Director of willowlamp. As a trained architect, Hoets was inspired by the graphic representations of tress in architectural drawings. These pieces are available in three shade diameter sizes, 500mm, 700mm, and 1000mm. This design is now also available as a wall sconce, enabling a truly curated design schema for both statement and accent lighting within spaces calling out for a harmonious and laid-back luxury theme to bring nature indoors.

For a truly individual and organic-inspired art piece luminaire or design set comprising a variety of types and sizes, we recommend choosing pieces using our rust willowlamp finish from across this collection, particularly if you are close to the ocean, where oxidation occurs more rapidly. Each chain and component oxidizes differently in the same way that each tree branch takes shape based on the natural elements surrounding it.

Willowlamp ensures no further oxidation can occur on your chosen pieces using a lacquer sealing process. Given that the rust willowlamp finish is so unique, all components are oxidized, including the ceiling cup, the uplighter dishes, and the steel laser-cut tree boughs.

In this sense, the luminaire’s using the rust willowlamp finish sits in a league and style family of their own, across all of the design collections, which you can view here.

When selecting alternative available metallic ball chain finishes such as silver chrome, smoke gunmetal, brass, copper, or mixed metallics, the overall piece comprises the use of satin-polished stainless steel components. Similarly, when choosing a colour finish, the ceiling cup, frames, and uplighter dish will comprise stainless components.
