Vintage 1960s Fibonacci Pendant in Copper By Sofus Frandsen for Fog And Mørup
About the Item
Iconic and rare pendant designed by Sophus Frandsen in 1963 for Fog & Mørup. The Fibonacci model is one of the most recognizable designs and is becoming increasingly rare to find.especially in copper.
A stunning and complex lamp that combines technical lighting perfection with architectural beauty. This sleek and modern pendant is a perfect example of Frandsen's study of light and its practical application. It creates a pleasant, indirect light and is known for being anti-glare. This pendant was one of the most expensive lamps produced by Fog & Mørup, winning a gold medal at the Leipzig exhibition in 1967.
It has been rewired in a 3 meter gold twisted cloth flew and grounded.
The pendant is in all original condition with all original parts including the nose cone shade which is all to often missing.
This piece of mid century design perfection has been completely dismantled and all parts cleaned.
All the surfaces have age related wear and patina. For example the copper shades which also have marked on the inside white paint where the copper verdigriis can be seen through the paint in certain places.
Also the tube where the bulb is placed has different shades in the copper because of the heat inpact from incandescent light bulbs.
All of which just simply contributes to its originality and history.

Fog & Mørup
Fog & Mørup was a legendary Danish lighting manufacturer best known to collectors for the sleek and sculptural ceiling lights, wall lights and floor lamps that the company produced in the postwar years. Its vintage fixtures are ideal for design enthusiasts looking to introduce a splash of Scandinavian modernist ingenuity into a space.
Founders Ansgar Fog and Erik Mørup reportedly met in Aarhus, Denmark, in 1902. They became fast friends and discussed going into business together. An opportunity materialized a couple of years later when they discovered a newspaper advertisement — an Aarhus consignment warehouse had been vacated and its landowner was looking for a business to sign a new lease. The friends took a chance and established a wholesale metalwork business.
In 1906, Fog and Mørup moved the business to Copenhagen and focused on lighting. They purchased an electrical company in 1913 and opened a lighting factory shortly thereafter. The following two decades saw rapid expansion. One of the most notable Fog & Mørup designs from the interwar period was the brass Kongelys table lamp, created by Niels Rasmussen Thykier.
Johannes (Jo) Hammerborg, an alum of leading Danish silverware brand Georg Jensen, joined Fog & Mørup as head of design in the late 1950s, ushering in a period of commercial success and international prominence.
Hammerborg was an innovative designer whose sleek and streamlined aesthetic came to define the company. During his time with Fog & Mørup, Hammerborg designed over 60 lighting fixtures and collaborated with other designers such as Erik Balslev, Sophus Frandsen and more. Fog & Mørup also worked with designers Torsten Thorup and Claus Bonderup, who created the iconic trumpet-shaped Semi pendant light in 1967.
Fog & Mørup sales remained healthy into the 1970s. A merger followed in the ensuing decades and the brand definitively closed in 2005 after being acquired by Nordlux.

The company was founded on 1 June 1904 by ironmonger Ansgar Fog (1880-1930) as a trading company in Aarhus. The following year, wholesaler Erik Mørup (1879-1972) was admitted as a partner. In 1906 it moved to Copenhagen. In 1915, the company was expanded with a factory for lamps and chandeliers, and in 1948 it was transformed into a limited company. At the same time, Mørup became chairman of the board and Alfred Emanuel Gillesberg (1895-1959) managing director. In 1956, Fog & Mørup moved to a new factory at Sydmarken 46 in Søborg designed by Preben Hansen.
Fog & Mørup is probably best known for the Kongelyslampen, which got its name when Fog & Mørup presented the lamp to King Christian X on his 25th anniversary in 1937. The table lamp was made of bronzed brass and cost DKK 35.50. Fog & Mørup had great success with the sale of this model. Fog & Mørup's heyday was the 1960s and 1970s, when Jo Hammerborg and other designers created a large number of both original and salable models of lamps.
In 1978, Fog & Mørup was acquired by competitor LYFA. Fog & Mørup's production was moved from Sydmarken in Søborg to LYFA in Måløv for better utilization of the production capacity.
In 1988, LYFA took over the lighting company ABO in Assentoft near Randers, which was particularly known for magnetic ball lamps produced in the 1970s. Only one year later, in 1989, LYFA was taken over by the listed company Lyskær Belysning A/S. The company's new name became Lyskær-Lyfa A/S in October 1989, but already in 1991 the company was bought by Horn Belysning...
