The Woaw collection is a lighting series created by Dubai-based designer Nader Gammas for Mr. John's Goods that reinterprets the traditional candelabra through simplified geometric forms and bold color combinations. The collection includes both table and floor lamps with multiple light sources arranged in sculptural configurations inspired by toy-like objects. Steel bodies and ceramic shades define the construction, while clean lines replace the ornamentation typically associated with classic candelabras to create contemporary statement pieces for residential interiors.
The collection is available in multiple configurations, including single, double, triple, tilt, and multi-arm variations that accommodate different room sizes and placements. Six-watt LED light sources provide illumination across the range, and three-region plug compatibility supports use in the US, UK, and European markets. The restrained geometric forms emphasize color rather than decorative detailing, allowing each lamp to function as both a lighting fixture and a sculptural object.
