Vintage "Saturn" pendant lamp in plexiglass by Jo Hammerborg for Fog and Mørup, Denmark 1960

The Saturn was one of Jo Hammerborg's first designs when he took over as director of design at Fog and Mørup at the end of the 1950s and began the process of transforming the company's product lines, introducing a new modernist aesthetic that was strongly informed by his previous work as a silversmith at Georg Jensen. The Saturn's banded design and distinctive combination of copper, black and orange became a theme that Hammerborg explored in many variations of proportion during his 20-year incumbency at Fog and Morup. Measuring 30 cm in diameter and 19 cm in height, the lamp retain its original glare-cancelling perspex plates and is in good condition with some patina on the copper parts as seen in the images. Rewired for safety. Standard E27 light bulb socket. Reference : 307206
