Brass Adjustable Floor Lamp by Fog & Mørup (Attr.), Denmark ca 1940s

Creator: Fog & Mørup (Attributed)
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
It was in the mid-20th century that Fog & Mørup really emerged as a significant force in lighting design, a period that initiated the most creatively and commercially successful era in the company’s history. It was also a period defined by leading Danish designers’ sleek and innovative designs that became the trademark style of Fog & Mørup and propelled the company into the forefront of Danish modern lighting.

This stunning floor lamp is attributed to the Danish manufacturer. It combines a classical shape re-imagined with carefully thought out proportions. Crafted from brass and cast iron, this lamp stands as a beacon of the era’s design ethos, where tradition meets modernism. The lamp's body, made out of cast iron, ensures stability, while the upper part is constructed from brass. The warm, golden brass part exudes sophistication through its sleek simplicity. While expressing the straightforwardness so often found in Scandinavian modern design, the structure emphasises the advantages of its use of the two metals, with brass being the ultimate material of choice of the era. The brass neck can be adjusted, thus allowing the light to be directed freely. Thanks to the off-white fabric shade, the lamp emits a beautiful golden glow when turned on. Danish and Scandinavian mid-century modern lighting pieces, including floor lamps, endure in popularity for several reasons. Firstly, the emphasis on clean lines and beautiful forms create a sense of simplicity and harmony that seamlessly integrates with various interior styles. Secondly, the commitment to quality craftsmanship ensures longevity; and lastly, the enduring allure lies in the ability of these designs to evoke a sense of nostalgia, while remaining relevant in today's design landscape.

With its focus on quality, innovation, and timeless design, Fog & Mørup has consistently demonstrated its ability to create products that are both timeless and contemporary. Besides its innovative design, this floor lamp is also perfect for task lighting, or as an accent piece.
