What began over 20 years ago as a spontaneous experiment in Tom Rossau’s Copenhagen workshop has evolved into a distinctive design philosophy. While shaping wooden slats into a cylindrical form, Tom discovered the expressive potential of light, material, and form, and a new chapter in Danish lighting design was born. Today, the collection has grown to include a wide range of materials and styles, yet the brand remains rooted in curiosity, craftsmanship, and sculptural design. Each lamp is still meticulously designed and handcrafted in Copenhagen, with a strong focus on quality and responsible production, bringing Danish design to interiors around the world.

During 3daysofdesign, Danish lighting brand Tom Rossau presents an immersive exhibition of handmade lamps crafted from birch and other responsibly sourced materials. Visitors can explore both iconic and new designs, experience the launch of the latest lamp models, and enjoy the unique opportunity to see one of the biggest projects from last year. Guests will also be able to experience products displayed in a variety of room settings and constellations, showcasing how the designs interact with different spaces and atmospheres. Each piece combines sculptural design with thoughtful craftsmanship, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality, innovation, and responsible production, offering a true celebration of Danish lighting design.
