Unlike many of Hammerborg's designs, the Milieu Pendant features a soft and organic aesthetic, inspired by his fascination with aviation and parachuting. A simple and elegant lighting solution, the layered design symbolises the graceful unfolding of a parachute, giving the piece a feeling of harmony, lightness and an overall balanced look. The multi-layered hemispherical shade creates a soft and glare-free light that illuminates space beautifully.
Johannes (Jo) Hammerborg grew up on the outskirts of Randers in a regular middle-class family. He 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 & 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.
