Pendant light “Milieu” Golden Line 24-carat-gold-plated. By Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup. Denmark 1

Fog & Mørup’s Golden Line was a mid-1970s premium offering of a small number of the company’s lines in 24-carat gold-plated editions. One of the selected lines was Jo Hammerborg’s multi-layered Milieu. This is a well kept example of these rare editions. The light has no dents or serious scratches. Johannes (Jo) Hammerborg grew up right outside of Randers, in a regular middle-class family. He trained as a silversmith, participated in Denmark’s resistance and struggle for freedom in 1940-45 as a saboteur, studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and worked as a silversmith at Georg Jensen. In 1957, he was hired as a chief designer at the lamp manufacturer Fog & Mørup, where he worked until 1980. And now, decades later, his coveted lamps are in high demand, and they are being sold in antique shops. Very, very good original condition with very little signs of wear.
