An original 1970s white-lacquered steel pendant lamp from the 'Bunker' series, designed by renowned Danish lighting designer, Jo Hammerborg, in 1974 or earlier for Fog & Mørup. The 'Bunker' series drew on industrial lighting, simplified and modernised for domestic use, and was available in three sizes - Mini, Midi, and Maxi. This lamp is the larger of the three sizes.
The shade is partially open at the top, meaning that as well as casting a very strong and clean downlight, the lamp gives a little ambient light into the rest of the room, especially if paired with a crown silver bulb that reflects the light upwards. The strong downlight makes the lamp particularly useful for hanging at eye-level over dining areas and work surfaces, but is certainly big enough and bright enough for whole room lighting.
The lamp accepts a standard E27 Edison Screw bulb and has been rewired with premium vintage-style Italian-made fabric-braided cable in a striking orange colour for a little contrast.
Bears original Fog & Mørup label to interior.
