About the Item

Kongelys table lamp with amber shade and burnished brass, produced by Fog & Mørup in the 1930s. Originally designed in 1928, the lamp became known as the "Kongelys Lamp" after it was gifted to the Danish King Christian X in 1937 for his 25th anniversary as king. The lamp's design is robust and functional, while the burnished brass and amber-colored shade give it a classic appearance. Fog & Mørup, founded in 1904 by Ansgar Fog and Erik Mørup, became renowned for their pioneering lighting designs throughout the 20th century. Their lamps combined innovation and quality, making them a key player in the Danish lighting industry during the mid-century. Dimensions: H:49 cm, Dia:35 cm.

Ansgar Fog and E Mørup met in 1902 at the firm of Marinus Kock in Aarhus, Denmark. They rapidly became close friends and began to develop the idea of going into business together. On 22 February 1904 they answered an advertisement in the newspaper Jyllandsposten calling for ‘an energetic man to take over a well-established ironmongery and consignment warehouse’. Fog Morup TromboneThe warehouse contents encompassed paraffin lamps, gas lamps, gas pipes, hosepipes, pumps, glasscutters and ‘other marketable and profitable wares’. The pair borrowed the asking price of 3,000 Danish kroner and started business as agents and wholesalers on 1 July 1904 in three small rooms with cellars in Fiskergyde in Aarhus. Both Fog and Mørup were then 24 years old. Fog Morup Medio, Classic and DiskosIn 1906 Fog & Mørup moved to Copenhagen and began to specialise in lighting, taking over electrical dealership Dahls Brothers in 1913, and on 1 April 1915 they opened their first lighting factory at Nørregade 7. Rapid expansion of the company over the next two decades, together with the takeover of several other lighting companies, required the factory to move to larger premises more than once, and the Nørregade premises became the company's showroom. It was in the early 1960s that Fog & Morup really emerged as a significant force in lighting design, following the company’s appointment in 1957 of Johannes (Jo) Hammerborg as head of design, which initiated what was to prove the most creative and commercially successful period in its history. Hammerborg’s sleek and innovative modernist designs became the trademark style of Fog & Morup throughout the 60s and into the 70s, and propelled the company into the forefront of Danish modern lighting.Fog Morup Semi By the early 1970s Fog & Mørup had reached its prime, with sales in 1972 in excess of 50 million Danish kroner and an export market growing at 30 per cent per annum. The company’s belief that ‘presented with a challenge, designers as individuals or in design groups will achieve their finest work’ enabled them to attract many talented architects and designers to work under Hammerborg’s exacting eye, including Sophus Frandsen, Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup, Jørgen Bo, E Balslev, Karen and Ebbe Clemmensen, Sidse Werner, Hans Due and Peter Avondoglio.Fog Morup Arabia kitchen lights Perhaps the most widely recognised of Fog & Morup's lights today is the iconic Semi designed by Bonderup and Thorup in 1967 while they were still students, but the company also produced many other innovative, important and award-winning lights including Frandsen’s Fibonacci, Hammerborg’s Saturn, Tunica and Classic and Diskos, Werner’s Formland, Balslev’s Radius and Hans Due’s Optima...
