The Orient™ pendant is an ode to fine craftsmanship. Designed originally in 1963 by Jo Hammerborg, the pendant was relaunched in updated materials in 2013. The curvy organic shape with fine detailing elegantly conceals the light source and ensures a pleasant soft light without glare.
Available in three expressions, stained ash with matte black aluminium is a modern interpretation of the original black version. The lighter option in Scandinavian oak and silver-colored aluminum lends a Nordic touch to the pendant. While the Copper version with a stained ash top radiates a rich warmth.
The smallest Orient pendant (Ø 8.85") can be hung alone, in a pair above counters or tables, or throughout a hospitality project, for example.
Jo Hammerborg grew up on the outskirts of Randers in a regular middle-class family. 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.
