Orient pendant lamp copper
Orient™ Pendant
The Orient™ Pendant is a flawless example of Danish lighting design, created in 1963 by Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup, one of Denmark’s most important lighting companies of the time. Known for his modernist and innovative approach, Hammerborg designed the Orient as both a technical and aesthetic triumph, achieving high luminous efficacy and timeless beauty. Relaunched 50 years later by Lightyears in close collaboration with the Hammerborg family, the Orient™ remains completely true to the original, showcasing the same organic form, high-quality materials, and impeccable craftsmanship.
