WINDFALL - JEWELLERS OF LIGHT

Crystal has an almost magical appeal. It mesmerises through its sparkling array of colours which create a re-

fraction of light. To achieve the greatest luminosity of the passage of light with sharpness and coherence was a

challenge at all times.

Clarissa Dorn and Roel Haagmans also pursue their love for light and crystal when they establish the WIND-

FALL company in Munich in summer 2004 in order to pave new ways in crystal luminaire design. The Dutch-

man made his name on the international scene with his designs for classical/oriental chandeliers for the Sultan

Quaboos Mosque in Muscat and the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. Clarissa Dorn brought long-term experience

in art, interior design and organisation with her.

Their first joint design “SCARLETT” – a crystal cascade, encased by a transparent, colourful Organza cylinder

shade – has enjoyed great success.

Shortly after, their second design, the “HELLBOB” was developed, the idea for a new lighting concept for

crystal chandeliers, a custom-made crystal sphere using the “WINDFALL CURLER” technique.

Floating crystal objects are illuminated by downlights which can unfurl unimagined emotions through the spati-

al illuminating effects that result. A new kind of subtle charm in luxurious lighting is born.

Interior designers and private owners are rapidly drawn to these unusual designs which the company are com-

missioned to design and execute in projects all over the world.

Just like a storm, WINDFALL stirs up the traditional lighting sector. With architects like KCA, David Chipperfield

and SHH in London and Paul Steelman Designs from Las Vegas, the first large projects are realised.

With “BALANCE”, a light which can be consolidated perfectly to the most diverse chandelier arrangements and

the floating dispersion of light further refined, one of the “MOST BELOVED ONES” of WINDFALL emerged in

2006 in the “CLASSIC WITH A TWIST” series.

This chandelier is so modern and classic that it makes dreams come true in Arabic Palaces and the Royal

Albert Hall just as much as for individuals in nightclubs in Brussels, bars in Moscow or mansions in Bel Air.

Happiness and the personal, passionate handling of their work, proximity to customers and the constant

willingness to change has given the small company from the Maxvorstadt district of Munich rise to colla-

boration with British Airways. Terminal 5 London and Washington, Cartier International, Philippe Starck in

New York, Roberto Cavalli and Montblanc.

But this success does not come from anywhere – projects like Roberto Cavalli’s flagship store in Paris or the pro-

jects currently in progress like Barkli in Moscow, Cartier London and Hawaii show that not only are visionary

ideas incorporated but meticulous working on chandelier decoration by the use of millimetre accurate calcula-

tions, long term experience in creating chandeliers, well-founded knowledge of ornamentation, the use of the

best materials and natural love and dedication sum up the entire work of the WINDFALL company.
