At the historic H.C. Ørsted Institute in Copenhagen, the Workshop lamp appears in a custom glossy black finish - a contemporary expression of the classic Danish workshop lamp designed by A. Wedel-Madsen in the 1950s.
At the H.C. Ørsted Institute in Copenhagen, rows of Workshop lamps hang beneath the warm wooden ceiling, illuminating one of Denmark’s most iconic university buildings. The institute, located in Universitetsparken and designed by architects Eva and Nils Koppel, was constructed between 1955 and 1962 and named after the Danish physicist and chemist H.C. Ørsted.
For this setting, the Workshop W4 lamps appear in a custom glossy black finish, adding a refined depth to the classic industrial form while maintaining its honest and functional expression.
Originally designed in the 1950s by A. Wedel-Madsen, the Workshop lamp was created to provide precise lighting for craftsmen. Today, it still reflects the same dedication to function, materials, and detail.
