Hoi P’loy’s Origin & Purpose
WHO WE ARE
Hoi P’loy’s Secret To Success
Over the years, like all now-successful brands and companies, Ploy Phiromnam and Guy van der Walt discovered and dealt with the various challenges that came with efficaciously meeting the incredibly high standards they set and strived towards. But that did not deter or stop them from continuing to work towards achieving their ultimate goal of building the brand they set out to create – all they needed was a little “secret sauce”. And what is this “secret sauce” you ask – here it is, directly from the dynamic duo:
“Our “secret sauce” that makes this journey possible is a committed and tight-knit team.
We encourage an atmosphere where each person values the bigger picture and their contributions are valued in return” – Ploy Phiromnam and Guy van der Walt Founders of Hoi P’loy

That is the very question and daily reminder that has continued to inspire Hoi P’loy founders Ploy Phiromnam and Guy van der Walt, along with their committed and passionate Hoi P’loy team, to consistently elevate the quality of what they create and constantly raise the industry bar and standards.
Hoi P’loy is driven by a deep desire to unceasingly challenge the current status quo. They do this by drawing from tried and tested traditional approaches, making use of only the highest quality authentic materials (such as brass), practicing and embracing the latest technologies and advances available to them, and fully immersing and investing themselves in meaningful and purposeful experiences, starting with their production environment all the way through to the impact their products have on the lives of their supporters and valued clients and customers.
Hoi P’loy Services
While some of their products are manufactured by partners internationally, the majority of Hoi P’loys Custom-Designed lights, fittings, and components are manufactured locally in Cape Town.
“We’re a little obsessive when it comes to detail and this can be seen even in our smallest custom made components, such as our acid etched name-plates and precision engineered thumbscrews” – Hoi P’loy.
There are three key pillars and services Hoi P’loy focusses on:
Product Customization
Product & Interior Designer Guidance
Lighting Restoration & Upgrades
Product Customization
“Over the years we’ve designed a range that’s made up of bespoke modular components, unique to Hoi P’loy, that can be easily interchanged and customized in order to offer products that are one-of-a-kind pieces to match your unique interior aesthetic and colour scheme. If you see something you like on our website, but would like to chop and change colours or parts, let us know – there’s a good chance we can make it happen.”
Product & Interior Designer Guidance
“We offer a free advisory service where architects, interior designers & product designers can engage with us and draw on our knowledge and experience of the lighting industry to develop their own lights that are well considered and designed with best practices in mind. We’re always happy to advise anybody who might need assistance with creating their own designs.”
Lighting Restoration & Upgrades
“We frequently assist clients who’ve purchased lights elsewhere that they’d like to upgrade or customise, by for example changing fittings, lamp shades, cable cord, switches or ceiling cups. Additionally we also love breathing new life into vintage light fittings that have been gathering dust in the attic. Bring ’em over to us for a new lease on life!”
