Trombone Floor Lamp – Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup, 1960s–70s
The Trombone floor lamp by Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup is a distinctive example of Danish mid-century modern lighting design. Its slender, architectural frame, dark base and horizontal metal lamp head create a striking silhouette. The contrast between polished metal and dark details gives the lamp a sculptural, industrial-inspired character.
The cylindrical lamp head directs light while adding a distinctive design element. Its tall, open structure makes it a statement piece for a living room, reading corner or carefully curated vintage interior.
Jo Hammerborg is recognised as an important figure in Danish modern lighting design. The Trombone reflects the period’s emphasis on functional design, geometric forms and thoughtful use of materials.
