Sunshine for the Soul!
After spending a fantastic week-end in Cologne, Germany, with some friends, we came across the Cazador Del Sol sun catchers, and fell in love! Swinging in the wind these amazing structures give a warm light! My first encounter with them was on a really dull day and they looked amazing in a garden amongst lots of greenery and tulips. They certainly brought a smile on my face!
They kind of look a bit weird when you just look at them, and not necessarily your usual idea on what to put in your garden or a pot on a balcony, but once you can visualise the impact of the colours and movements, they will bring harmony and warmth into your life.
‘Sunshine for the soul‘ is how the creator René Hildebrand describes them! His “Joie de vivre” has evolved with his work and through many experiments with materials, and ideas… and finally exploded with the creation of the sun catchers. After a visit to the Canary Island of Lanzarote, where he got inspired by the light and barren black volcanic landscape, René’s designs were born. The Cazador Del Sol Sun catchers were developed through passion and love of colours, and reflects his art and inspirations!
René Hildebrand has also created huge light installations around the world, with his ‘sunflowers’ type installation of sun catchers! The response from people have been amazing: the sun catchers give pleasure and create huge enthusiasm and smile! They bring positive energy and happiness to people.
Like the designer, you can show your own creativity, and experience the joy of this amazing sculpture in your life. Put one sun catcher or more in your garden, a balcony, a window box… We are now very happy to be stocking them.
The sun catchers comes in many shapes and forms. We love the combination of a tall and large orange disk with 2 smaller ones: pink and green! Equally, our mini Lucille bouquet have been extremely popular! You may also choose to hang them from a tree or a shrub, or whatever takes your fancy! Let your creativity go wild and enjoy the energy generated by the sun catchers!
The sun catcher consists of a fluorescent disk attached to a string to suspend or to a rod to swing in the wind! Watch them move with a gentle breeze. In a pond with the reflection of the water, they look stunning! The combination of the gentle motion and the warm light create a feeling of happiness and peace. The sun catchers look at their best at dusk or in a dull day, when you miss the sunshine the most! That is when their light is the most intense!
