It's a narrative that begins with the glow of a workshop lamp, casting its light on the diligent hands of craftsmen, and evolves into a beacon of modernity while honoring age-old techniques. This is the story of the Workshop Lamp Collection by Made by Hand - a tribute to authenticity, quality, and the artistry of Danish artisans.

Rewind to 2014, a pivotal year marked by meticulous preparation and unwavering dedication.

Designed by A. Wedel Madsen

But beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper connection to Danish heritage. Designed by the visionary A. Wedel-Madsen, the Workshop Lamp embodies the fusion of modernity and tradition - a bridge between past and present. In the 1950s, it illuminated the workshops of craftsmen, serving as a steadfast companion in their pursuit of excellence.

Metalwork lies at the heart of this narrative, with the idyllic countryside of Denmark serving as a backdrop to the intricate process. Skilled metalworkers, steeped in tradition, harness both traditional tools and modern machinery to breathe life into each design.
