The Orient™ pendant is a flawless light design with great luminous efficacy and made from the finest quality materials. The pendant was created by Jo Hammerborg in 1963 and relaunched by Fritz Hansen Lighting in 2013. The fitting elegantly conceals the low energy light source and ensures a soft, pleasant light without any glare. The Orient lamp shade is hand spun in a wooden mould, a feature that underlines the original, organic shape and true craftsmanship of this pendant.

He was a pronounced idea person and entrepreneur, who throughout his entire life initiated and developed the things he was passionate about. He was a key driving force for Fog & Mørup, and it was under his leadership that the company experienced their most creative and commercially successful period. With a distinct design philosophy, great insight in elimination technique and a profound understanding of form, function and aesthetics, he created over 180 different designs of lamps, several of which have received international awards. In 1980, Fog & Mørup underwent a series of mergers, and in the late 90s they ceased production of his designs. And now decades later, when his coveted lamps are in high demand, it is once again possible to buy a newly manufactured Jo Hammerborg lamp. Lightyears has, in cooperation with the Hammerborg family, decided to relaunch the Orient pendants. Jo Hammerborg's innovative contribution to Danish lamp design sits naturally in the 21st century, and we at Lightyears can only be proud of continuing his beautiful design legacy.
