Beautiful Orient pendant lamp designed by Jo Hammerborg. This amazing brushes aluminium pendant lamp was designed in 1962 for Fog & Mørup and made in Denmark.

Today the Orient pendant lamp is back in production by Fritz Hansen. According to Wikipedia this lamp was designed in 1960. The Fritz Hansen website says 1963. But it is 1962. As described in detail in the excellent book: Danish Lights – 1920 to Now. This edition is an early edition made by Fog & Mørup. Ansgar Fog (1880-1930) and Erik Mørup (1879-1972) started their business together in 1904 as a metalwork wholesaler. Two years later they moved to the capital Copenhagen and began to focus on lighting production and over the years taking over several electrical and lighting companies. It was only in the early 1960s that Fog & Mørup really emerged as a key force in lighting design, following the company’s appointment in 1957 of Jo Hammerborg as head of design.

This lamp is in great vintage condition as can be seen in the pictures.
