Vintage pendant lamp Nova by Jo Hammerborg, Fog og Mørup, Denmark, 1963

A brass lamp consisting of four lampshades. The outer lenses are tinted yellow to ensure warm light reflection. The small lampshade that hides the bulb holder has a dark gray coating to soften the light downwards. When lit, the lamp is soft and does not glare downwards, making it ideal for low-hanging, and the glossy surface captures and reflects the contours of the surrounding space. One of the few themes that ran through Jo Hammerborg’s work at Fog & Mørup in the 1960s was that lamps were often manufactured from three different metals - copper, brass, and aluminum. The lamp is quite heavily patinated on the main shade (requires polishing). The lamp has been thoroughly cleaned, a new approx. 2-meter long braided cable has been installed. Possibility to replace the cable to any length. A roof lining is attached to each lamp. Please note that the things we sell are second-hand, often 40-50 years old, and therefore have traces of use that cannot always be captured in the photos.
