SILHUET™ PENDANT LAMPS
SILHUET™ PENDANT LAMPS
Designed By Jo Hammerborg
The beautiful Silhuet pendant is characterized by soft – almost hynotising – lines and warm brass. Fritz Hansen reissued the Silhuet design in celebration of the Danish designer Jo Hammergorg’s 100th anniversary.
In homage, Hammerborg’s signature and a 100-year tag are inscribed inside every pendant. Small differences in the surface may occur and will change over time. This is part of the product’s unique look.
DESIGNER
He trained as a silversmith, participated in Denmark’s resistance and struggle for freedom in 1940-45 as a saboteur, studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and worked as a silversmith at Georg Jensen.
In 1957, he was hired as chief designer at the lamp manufacturer Fog & Mørup, where he worked until 1980. He was a pronounced idea person and entrepreneur, who throughout his entire life initiated and developed the things he was passionate about.
He was a key driving force for Fog & Mørup, and it was under his leadership that the company experienced their most creative and commercially successful period.
With a distinct design philosophy, great insight in elimination technique and a profound understanding of form, function and aesthetics, he created over 180 different designs of lamps, several of which have received international awards. In 1980, Fog & Mørup underwent a series of mergers, and in the late 90s they ceased production of his designs.
In his private life Jo Hammerborg was an active and very versatile athlete who, along with his professional career, was also a pioneer in parachuting and flying.
In a tragic manner, it was his great passion for skydiving that cost him his life when, at the age of only 62, he died in an accident.
And now decades later, when his coveted lamps are in high demand, it is once again possible to buy a newly manufactured Jo Hammerborg lamp. Fritz Hansen has, in cooperation with the Hammerborg family, decided to relaunch the Orient pendants. Jo Hammerborg’s innovative contributions to Danish lamp design have a natural place in the 21sh century.
