Copper Orient Minor pendant by Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup, 1960s

The Orient Minor pendant was designed by Jo Hammerborg in the 1960s. In the Orient series Fog & Mørup produced pendants in two different sizes and, over the course of time, also two table lamps in different sizes. All of them were available in various materials like copper and aluminium.

This version is made from red copper, painted white on the inside to maximize the light. The lamp has a rosewood top, which carries the curve of the teardrop-shaped pendant right up to the tip of the lamp. Our lamp also contains the diffuser or louvre; integrated by Hammerborg to filter and soften the light.

The lamp is in good and complete vintage condition, although there are several smaller scratches on the outside. It has been rewired with 2 m high-end black fabric cord—for safety and beauty.
