Designed by Jo Hammerborg for renowned Danish lighting manufacturer Fog & Mørup in the 1960s, this vibrant yellow table lamp is a striking example of Scandinavian modernism at its most refined. Hammerborg, known for his architectural background and minimal yet expressive designs, brings a sense of clarity and elegance to this piece through clean lines, balanced proportions, and subtle detailing.
The lamp’s cylindrical metal shade in a bold, saturated mustard yellow offers a cheerful pop of color, while its matte black or brushed metal stem and base (depending on the edition) provide contrast and grounding. Light is cast downward in a soft, focused beam—ideal for desks, bedside tables, or reading corners—while the underside of the shade is typically painted white to enhance diffusion.
Simultaneously playful and sophisticated, this lamp reflects the modernist Danish ethos of functional beauty. A rare find in this colorway, it remains a timeless statement piece for collectors and design lovers alike.
