Shiny design hanging lamp Orient™ - Design: Jo Hammerborg

Fine craftsmanship characterizes the Orient™ pendant lamp. Its shade is made of warmly shining copper, its organic shape is individually turned by hand in a wooden form. The suspension is adorned with a decorative detail of rosewood. First issued in 1963, the lamp was reissued in 2013 through a collaboration between the family of Jo Hammerborg (1920-1982) and the Danish company FRITZ HANSEN. Designs by Jo Hammerborg were until now only available as antiques, with the Orient™ pendant lamp, which fits perfectly with the trends of the 21st century, the work of Jo Hammerborg remains accessible to a wider range of buyers.
