The Workshop Pendant Light portrays an industrial expression that harks back to the roots of the original Danish design. With functionality at the forefront of Axel Wedel-Madsen’s piece, the light drew inspiration from the needs of everyday work life in 1950s Denmark, where workshop lamps were durable but often made of heavy iron. The Made By Hand Workshop Pendant Light manufactures the original design with the advantages of contemporary processes, alleviating the weight of the shade while retaining the characteristic thickness.
Expertly crafted from spun aluminium, the shade is available in a selection of striking colourways and sizes that effortlessly elevate any kitchen or living space.
A Danish technical model maker, Axel Wedel-Madsen captured attention with his deep knowledge and understanding of materials techniques and attention to detail.
Now a celebrated figure in the history of Scandinavian design, his innovative aluminium ceiling lamp replaced traditional heavy and bulky workshop lamp designs. Danish brand Made By Hand has since reissued the design and reintroduced the piece into contemporary settings.
