Jo Hammerborg
Johannes (Jo) Hammerborg was born on February 4, 1920 in Denmark. In 1957 he became head of design at Fog & Mørup.
Hammerborg was a prolific designer, personally creating some 100 lamps for Fog & Mørup and also collaborated with other designers in adapting their designs. Jo retired in 1980, only a short time before both his own death in 1982 and the take-over of the company.
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.
The lamp will be sent without the light bulb. While we have checked the cable and tested the lamp to see that it works, as with all vintage electrical equipment, we suggest you have it checked by a qualified electrician in your country before installing it in your home.
