About Woka Lamps Vienna

WOKA LAMPS VIENNA® is the owner of the original manufacturing tools and equipment of the period the lamps were designed, press tools, casting moulds, torsion meters and such like, thus enabling exact and authentic reproduction of the designs as they had originally appeared.
The lamps Are now hand-crafted in limited numbers in Vienna. Solid brass is mostly the exclusive manufacturing material. The surface may be polished brass, nickel plated or lacquered in any style.
Each one of the massive cast elements of these lamps is manually moulded in sand. After casting, the mould is used up and has to be replaced.

The smooth tubes are passed through old moulding tools to obtain the required profile.
The glasses are hand-blown. In order to obtain the desired form, they are blown into a wet, constantly turning wooden mould.

Cheap imitations differ from WOKA LAMPS VIENNA through the use of inferior material but, above all, they are the result of industrial mass production.

Distinguishing marks of WOKA LAMPS VIENNA are, apart from a flair of solidity, the punch on the lamp as well as the enclosed certificate of authenticity filled in by the craftsman.
