Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup 'Peanut' Lamp, c1970

Stamped FM Denmark on the base, this Peanut lamp was designed by Jo Hammerborg for the Danish lighting company Fog & Mørup, this all-metal edition dates to around 1970.

Hammerborg trained as a silversmith at Georg Jensen before becoming Fog & Mørup's chief designer in 1957, a role he held until 1980. Under him, the company moved from softer, traditional diffusers towards a more architectural, Space Age direction, spun aluminium, precision joints, and light designed to be directional rather than ambient. This piece reflects that shift clearly.

Originally a wall-mounted sconce, we have rewired it with a 2.5m black braided lead, Australian plug and an inline switch, giving it a second life as a desktop or bedside lamp while keeping the original mounting bracket intact for anyone who wants to hang it as designed. The adjustable knuckle joint still allows a full 180 degrees of rotation and tilt. It has been fully rewired, tested and tagged to Australian standards, and comes with an Edison globe.

Shade diameter 15cm, base diameter 10cm.
