Note: Willy Daro worked in Brussels from the late 1960s to 1987 and owned Les Nouveaux Ateliers. His work exemplifies 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.
