The designers

Iskos-Berlin, Kim Richardt, Nina Bruun

Copenhagen studio Iskos-Berlin, Aleksej Iskos and Boris Berlin, designed many of the brand’s best-known lamps, giving familiar materials a new shape.

Kim Richardt, Nina Bruun, Groundwork Studio and A. Wedel-Madsen add their own takes on craft, from woven textiles to soft paper shades.

Craft as the starting point

Each collection begins with a technique, knitting, wrapping, folding or spinning, and asks how it could make light feel warmer and more personal.

Made by Hand turns old crafts into modern light: lamps knitted in 3D, wrapped in jute, built from rice paper or spun from aluminum, designed in Copenhagen.

The Studio

Made by Hand was founded in Copenhagen in 2014 to create innovative, durable design objects with local craftspeople in Denmark and abroad. Each design is developed together with its designer and maker, testing prototypes, shapes and function until craft and design meet. Its best-known piece, Knit-Wit, came from a simple question in 2016: could a knitted shade give beautiful, functional light? The answer was found with Kobleder, a third-generation knitting family in Austria.

Made to Last

Knit-Wit and Flying shades are knitted in Austria from flame-retardant yarn with zero production waste. Workshop lamps are spun in Danish metal workshops, and Papier shades are assembled by hand, sheet by sheet. Every lamp at LoftModern is the US 120V version.
