Information

This rare floor lamp, model Studio, designed by Jo Hammerborg and produced by Fog & Mørup in Denmark during the 1950s, exemplifies Scandinavian mid-century lighting design with a sophisticated blend of materials and form. The lamp features a slender black lacquered metal stem balanced on a circular copper base, providing both stability and a warm visual contrast. Its adjustable cylindrical lampshade combines black-painted metal with a copper top section, creating a striking interplay between industrial and metallic elements.

Jo Hammerborg, who led design at Fog & Mørup from 1957 to 1980, was celebrated for his innovative and minimalist approach. The Studio lamp embodies his signature style, focusing on clean geometry, functionality, and quality materials. The adjustable shade allows for precise directional lighting, ideal for reading or task use, while the copper accents add warmth and elegance to the light it emits.

The lamp measures 15 cm in width, 40 cm in depth, and stands 150 cm tall (5.9 x 15.7 x 59 inches). It remains in good vintage condition, showing minor, age-appropriate wear consistent with regular use.
