The Warmth of Wood, the Beauty of Light
LampCraft uses a variety of exotic woods, like Ageless Oak, African Kiaat, and Earthy Teak. These natural materials not only create a beautiful aesthetic but are also eco-friendly. Each lamp is designed to be both functional and visually appealing, adding a touch of warmth and character to your home.
Light Up Your Life, One Lamp at a Time
The right lighting can transform a room. It sets the mood, creates ambiance, and highlights your favorite décor. LampCraft’s designs go beyond basic illumination. Their floor lamps chase away dark corners and provide targeted lighting for reading or creating a specific atmosphere. Their bedside lamps, available individually or as a set, add a touch of warmth and functionality to your nightstand or desk, making them a perfect gift for any occasion.
The Creative mind behind LampCraft
Willem Klopper is the creative mind behind LampCraft, a unique business that specializes in hand-crafted lamps made from exotic woods. After retiring and completing the construction of his home, Willem rekindled his passion for woodworking. Dusting off his tools, he dove back into the craft, starting with designing furniture and nifty artist easels.
The turning point in Willem’s journey came when he spotted an unusual tripod lamp in a magazine. This sparked his interest in lamp design, leading him to create a variety of innovative lamps. Among his designs, the ‘leaning’ style lamps have become particularly popular, offering a contemporary and stylish addition to any space.
For the past ten years, Willem has been a trader at the Hermanus Country Market, where he showcases his exquisite lamps. He and his wife Dalene thoroughly enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the market, the camaraderie with fellow traders, and the opportunity to meet numerous visitors each week.
Willem finds immense satisfaction in knowing that his lamps are appreciated worldwide, with some even making their way to places as far as Singapore. Each piece he creates is a testament to his skill and passion for woodworking, making LampCraft a standout name in artisanal lighting solutions.
