BRAND VAN EGMOND is a Dutch atelier and an international trendsetter in exclusive handcrafted
lighting.
The atelier was founded in 1989 by William Brand, a pioneer artist with the sole intension to create art
without restraints. William Brand (1963) graduated at the Utrecht School of the Arts in the Netherlands,
where he was trained as an architect and sculptor. His first lighting sculpture became an instant icon.
His passion for lighting sculptures has resulted in an impressive collection, with yearly additions of new
designs. As all his lights are handmade, he is frequently asked to customise for specific clients and projects
across the world. From his base in Naarden, The Netherlands, he operates in over 90 countries, with a
clientele ranging from Royals to Rappers. Several leading luxury brands like Chopard, Neuhaus and Louis
Vuitton have made the lighting sculptures of Brand van Egmond part of their retail identity.
William continues to welcome requests from architects, designers and clients who seek their help in order to
translate specific wishes into beautiful handcrafted lighting sculptures.
Through the selected images in this book of projects around the world, we hope to inspire you, just as we have
been inspired by anecdotes and specific requests from you.
