About the Item

Optima 6 - white pendant by Hans Due for Fog & Mørup in 1972 - large Danish modern hanging light in very good vintage condition. A beautiful pendant characterized by its soft lines, clearly influenced by space age design - it features a large circular outer shade with a cylindrical top, all lacquered glossy white. Inside it features a reflective shade with red inner coating to give warmth to the ambiance and provide an even, glare-free lighting in both high-hanging and low-hanging situations. The Optima series was originally launched in 1972 at Fog & Mørup on Amagertorv, Copenhagen. It consisted of seven models: three pendant lamps with diameters of 20, 50 and 60 cm, two floor lamps with one and two spots respectively, a table lamp, and a wall lamp. All models were painted white, with metal parts in matte chrome. A brown and a yellow version followed in 1973. This version is an Optima 6 pendant, measuring 19.7" / 50 cm in width, with a glossy white lacquer. Condition: Very good vintage condition with very few normal signs of usage and age. Please see the photos! All original, but rewired with 2 m (6' 6.7") high end quality, white fabric cord - for safety and beauty. Tested and fully functional. Cleaned, labeled and packed in protective bag. Light source: One bulb, Edison screw-fitting (E27/E26), max 100 watt. For this specific light I recommend using a silver tipped incandescent bulb (as seen in the last photo) - just ask me and I will help you find a local supplier.
