KNIT-WIT - Though knitting is an old craft, it hasn’t yet been exploited for modern design lamps, and this was the fundamental aspiration for Made by Hand. The knitted materiality of the Knit-Wit lamp distributes light through the yarn’s pattern, making each lamp distinctive and decorative. The Knit-Wit family of lamps with their basic shape, warmth and lightness, range of sizes and wide color palette can easily and naturally find their place in any interior – from private houses to public spaces. The Knit-Wit family comes in wide colour palette and a range of sizes.

FLYING is a family of sculptural pendant lamps with a soft organic shape. When suspended, they appear to float beautifully in the air. FLYING lamps are designed, made and distributed with sustainability in mind. The lampshade is created via a 3D knitting process directly from yarn to the final product, so no material is wasted. The LED light source is built into the top of the lamp so the light is softly diffused through the knitted bottom part of the lamp. FLYING lamps are also flat-packed in cardboard, making them compact and therefore more sustainable in terms of transport and distribution.

  • Care and maintainance

    The Flying and Knit-Wit Lamp Collections, crafted with innovative 3D knitting techniques and sustainable design principles, offer both sculptural beauty and functional illumination. To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your knitted lamps, we recommend following these care and maintenance guidelines:

    Cleaning:
    - Regularly dust the lampshades with a soft, dry cloth or a handheld vacuum with a brush attachment to remove surface dust and debris. Be gentle to avoid pulling or stretching the knitted fabric.
    - For deeper cleaning, spot clean any stains or spills immediately using a damp cloth or sponge moistened with mild detergent and water. Blot the affected area gently, taking care not to rub or scrub vigorously, as this may damage the knitted texture.

    Avoiding damage:
    - Handle the lamps with care when moving or adjusting to prevent snagging or stretching of the knitted fabric. Avoid pulling or tugging on the yarn excessively, as it may distort the shape of the lampshade.
    - Keep the lamps away from direct heat sources, such as fireplaces or radiators, as excessive heat can cause damage to the knitted material or affect the integrity of the flame-retardant polyester.

  • Important Note

    The Flying and Knit-Wit Lamp Collections represent the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with modern design innovation, resulting in lamps that are both visually stunning and environmentally conscious. By following these care and maintenance guidelines, you can preserve the beauty and functionality of your knitted lamps for years to come, illuminating your space with warmth and style.
