Vintage pendant lamp "Radius" by Erik Balslev for Fog & Mørup, Denmark 1970s

The Radius is a striking multi-layered pendant Danish art light designed by Erik Balslev for Fog & Mørup in the 1970s and awarded an iF product design award in 1977. The main layer and the elegantly tapered cap are painted in matte brown, and an outline of the "Semi", Fog & Mørup’s best-known lamp, can be seen in these two layers. The Semi-like profile is complemented by the three other layers, which are placed to catch and reflect the illumination to maximum effect and all of which are a warm beige color. This light is missing the smallest cone at the bottom of the shade. They are often lost since they have to be removed in order to change the light bulb. Due to the missing part I have reduced the price of this light with 100 euros. Over all good condition with a few small marks in the lacquer. It takes an Edison screw bulb max 100w (not supplied) and measures 47 cm in diameter and 30 cm in height. Danish modern lighting manufacturing company Fog & Mørup was founded by Ansgar Fog (1880 to 1930) and Erik Mørup (1879-1972) in Aarhus, Denmark in 1904. After the war—especially in the 1960s and ’70s—Fog & Mørup’s international reputation reached new heights. In 1959, Johannes (Jo) Hammerborg(1920-1982) joined as head of design and introduced modernist design principles to the Fog & Mørup collections. Streamlined, sleek forms become the company’s signature aesthetic.
