Owner of the Les Nouveaux Ateliers Willy Daro and worked in Brussels from the late 1960s to 1987. His pieces are fabulous examples of an eccentric, modern and bold style. He is particularly well known today for his lamps, where he often combined brass and chrome with large natural materials such as agate, semi-precious stones, coral and shells, or botanical and floral sculptural forms. The designs from the 1970s combined the Brutalist style with fossils and minerals. Daro’s designs were sophisticated, with luxurious materials and great attention to detail, making each piece a unique sculptural piece of art.
