He trained as a silversmith, participated in Denmark's resistance and struggle for freedom in 1940-45 as a saboteur, studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and worked as a silversmith at Georg Jensen. In 1957, he was hired as chief designer at the lamp manufacturer Fog \u0026amp; Mørup, where he worked until 1980.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \nHe 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 \u0026amp; 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 \u0026amp; Mørup underwent a series of mergers, and in the late 90s ceased production of his designs.","products":[{"product_id":"orient-pendant-lamp-copper","title":"Orient pendant lamp copper","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrient™ Pendant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Orient™ Pendant is a flawless example of Danish lighting design, created in 1963 by Jo Hammerborg for Fog \u0026amp; Mørup, one of Denmark’s most important lighting companies of the time.
