Gamma lamps

Graduating in 2003 from the MA Design Products at the Royal College of Art in London, Sylvain Willenz opened his design office the following year in Brussels. His work was spotted in 2007 at a furniture exhibition in Milan by Established & Sons, who launched their TORCH range of lighting fixtures shortly afterwards. Since then, he has been designing and collaborating for publishing houses and lighting artisans such as CVL Luminaires. At the head of a small team, he designs furniture and lighting, offering a simple, graphic and timeless approach. Fascinated by both craft and industry, he pays great attention to detail and enjoys focusing on the diversity and quality of materials. In 2009, he received the British Grand Prix for best lighting design with his TORCH Light collection, and was also named Belgian Designer of the Year.
