Unfortunately, little biographical information is known about the Belgian designer Willy Daro. We do know that, during the 1950s and 1970s, he worked in the field of design and lighting. Owner of Les Nouveaux Ateliers, Willy Daro worked in Brussels from 1960 to 1987. His pieces are elegant and full of movement, and he often used agate as the dramatic focal point, a very fashionable stone during the 1960s.
