First designed by Madsen in 1951 to illuminate artisans’ workshops, the Workshop Pendant Light stands as a cornerstone of Danish design heritage. Seventy-five years on, Made by Hand honours this enduring icon with a refined Anniversary Edition that respects its functional origins while celebrating its quiet, purposeful beauty.
Still crafted in Denmark, the design is elevated with an engraved brass top and introduced in three classic hues inspired by the 1950s. Suspended above a dining table, kitchen island or workspace, the 75th Anniversary Edition of the Workshop Pendant Light casts focused, dependable light while adding warmth and understated lustre - allowing you to live with a piece of design history, reimagined for today.
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.
