1970s Jo Hammerborg “Diskos” Lamp — Danish Space Age Pop Art Wall Light, Fog & Mørup Mid Century Modern Design
Bring a true design icon into your home with this Jo Hammerborg “Diskos” Lamp, a rare 1970s Danish Mid Century Modern piece crafted for Fog & Mørup. Bold, sculptural, and distinctly Space Age, this wall or table lamp captures the playful geometry and clean lines that define the era’s most celebrated lighting designs.
The Diskos model reflects the strong influence of Bauhaus principles—minimal forms, functional construction, and striking visual balance. This connection traces back to architect Walter Gropius’s vision of a Gesamtkunstwerk, the “total work of art,” which reshaped modern design and inspired generations of artists such as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and László Moholy-Nagy. These ideas continued to echo in 1960s–70s lighting, where simple shapes and bold colors met the emerging Pop Art and Space Age aesthetics.
Often confused with later lamps like Bent Karlby’s “Peacock” for Lyfa, the Diskos predates these designs and stands out for its size, craftsmanship, and purity of form. This version is significantly larger and far more uncommon, featuring a robust 48 cm backplate, steel rings, and solid steel rivets—a testament to high-quality Danish production. The original “Made in Denmark” label remains intact on the back.
