Pair of Brass and Glass Wall Sconces by Jørgen Bo, 1960

Creator: Fog & Mørup -Jorgen Bo
Offered by: After Midnight

Description
A set of two minimalist wall sconces designed by Jørgen Bo for the Danish firm Fog & Mørup. Each fixture consists of a refined brass frame holding an opal glass cylinder that serves as both shade and diffuser. This design provides a soft, even distribution of light, characteristic of Bo's functionalist approach to Danish modernism.

Jørgen Bo (1919–1999) was a prominent Danish architect and designer, best known for his long-term partnership with Vilhelm Wohlert, which included the design of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. His lighting designs for Fog & Mørup are celebrated for their architectural restraint, geometric clarity, and sophisticated use of high-quality materials like brass and glass.
