Jo Hammerborg Nova Patinated Copper Ceiling Lamp Fog & Mørup Denmark 1960s

This “Nova” ceiling lamp, designed by Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup in Denmark during the 1960s, exemplifies the sculptural precision and functional elegance that define Scandinavian modern lighting. Crafted in brushed copper with a beautifully preserved natural patina, the lamp features Hammerborg’s signature tiered construction, designed to direct light both upward and downward in perfect balance.
 
Its concentric copper shades are complemented by a white lacquered interior, which softly diffuses the light to create a warm, glare-free glow. The piece has been professionally rewired with new electrical components and fitted with a black cotton cable, ensuring both safety and aesthetic integrity.
 
In excellent vintage condition, the lamp displays a gentle surface patina consistent with age, enhancing the copper’s depth and character. A true collectible from Hammerborg’s celebrated series for Fog & Mørup, the Nova remains one of the most iconic and timeless Danish designs of the 1960s.
