Using primarily matte-surfaced sterling silver, stainless steel and occasionally gold, Darway casts and fabricates carefully designed elements.

His use of new materials gives his work a decidedly graphic look, often downright sexy in its minimalism. For Darway,everything matters.

I believe if each part works, the final piece should come out. For Darway, form truly follows function. Each lamp is made up by hand on a per order basis. Dimensions will be very close to the dimensions given and will vary slightly only in details and in choice of some materials, depending on their availability Purchase enquiries can be made directly with Artspan .
