Handmade Lamps and Made to Order

Handmade lamps and Made to Order

At Andlight, we are very proud of the beautiful products that we are allowed to present from our suppliers.

Many of the most beautiful designer lamps are made by hand and some manufacturers also practice "made to order", which means that the lamps are produced when the order is placed. This ensures a sustainable production and that your lamp will be manufactured with extensive care and effort.

Of course, we always try to have best-sellers from these brands in stock, so you don't have to wait too long for your lamp.

In this post, you can get an overview of the brands that manufacture products by hand and therefore may be subject to other conditions in relation to delivery time. The post can help explain a delay on the lamp and you can read this before you order, so you are prepared for the delays that may occur when there is pressure on production.

Tom Rossau

Tom Rossau makes beautiful lamps from turned wood veneer, which are assembled by hand in their workshop at Frederiksberg in Copenhagen.

These lamps are also "made to order", meaning that if we do not have any lamps in stock, it will usually take around 4 weeks to produce the lamp for us. Fortunately, we usually have Tom Rossau's bestsellers in stock and we regularly order products from them, to reduce the waiting time for you.

Should there be a claim on your Tom Rossau lamp, you should also be aware that it may take 4-6 weeks before we can replace the lamp for you.

Serge Mouille

The renowned and exclusive French brand Serge Mouille is another of our brands that makes the lamps from scratch and produces "made to order".

The delivery time for a Serge Mouille lamp is usually 5-7 weeks, depending on the pressure on production.

If you need to order a larger quantity of lamps for your new home, it is important that you are aware of these waiting times, as we cannot speed up the production process.

Made By Hand

As the name suggests, the Copenhagen-based brand - Made By Hand - makes handmade lamps to order. Made By Hand can usually produce an order within a few days, unless there is pressure on the workshop or materials are in backorder.

We work closely with Made By Hand and the manufacturer always tries to get Andlight orders out on time, but there may be waiting times due to busyness or lack of materials.

Secto

Finnish Secto makes beautiful wooden lamps, which are assembled and turned by hand. In recent years, Secto has grown from a small workshop to a slightly larger production, so they can usually keep up with the production.

However, it may happen that the workshop experiences unusual pressure, or that they lack wood materials, as their standards of quality are very high.

You should therefore be aware that if your Secto lamp is not in stock when you order it, the delivery time may be exceeded in special cases.

Handvärk

The Danish lamp company Handvärk , which is the author of the well-known Studio series, also manufactures their lamps by hand. The delivery time is usually between 20-30 days.

We very rarely experience delays with them and they can usually deliver spare parts for your claim, within a short time.

Graypants

American Graypants manufactures lamps from sustainable materials and is perhaps best known for their Scraplight series, which can be experienced at the new Alsik hotel in Sønderborg, Denmark.

The Scraplight series is made of recycled cardboard and still manages to give a beautiful and warm expression, with its brown color.

The Scraplight series is handmade and can be backordered. Fortunately, they have a production in the Netherlands, so we do not have to ship the lamps from the US.

Vitra

The extremely popular Swiss brand Vitra , has in recent years gained a foothold in Nordic interior design, after their Akari series has filled one housing magazine after another.

The Akari series is very special as it is manufactured according to traditional methods in a Japanese workshop. The reception has been overwhelming for Vitra , which means that the relatively small workshop cannot always keep up.

In our peak season, we have unfortunately experienced up to 2 months waiting time, for a handmade Akari lamp, as the relatively small workshop cannot keep up with global demand. The normal delivery time for an Akari product is around 2-3 weeks, but in November and December the waiting time can, unfortunately, be much longer.

We work from the "first-come-first-served" principle and you need to be quick and aware, when we have discounts on the Akari-series.

Whichever of the above brands you choose, you will get a handmade lamp of incredibly high quality. So the patch on the wound may be that the lamps are worth the wait.
Also, it should be added that we try to have a basic inventory of the most popular lamps, so you do not have to wait too long for your new dream lamp.
