About the Creator

Johannes Hammerborg

A Brief History of Johannes Hammerborg

Danish designer Johannes Hammerborg, often called Jo, was born in Randers, Denmark, in February 1920. After graduating from high school, Hammerborg went on to train as a silversmith in Randers and Silkeborg during 1942 and 1943. In 1944, Hammerborg entered the prestigious Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, and exhibitions of his paintings were held in Randers each year between 1944 and 1947. Hammerborg entered the Danish silversmith firm, Georg Jensen in 1949 where he worked as a silversmith for eight years.

Johannes Hammerborg at Fog & Mørup

Johannes Hammerborg joined the Danish lighting manufacturer Fog & Morup where he became their head of design in 1957. While Hammerborg was at the helm, Fog & Mørup saw its most successful period in its 80 year-old history, both artistically and commercially. Hammerborg introduced a new modernist aesthetic to the designs, and every aspect of the company, be it the smallest component of a pendant lights pendant light or the labelling and packaging, came under the exacting eye of Hammerborg. During the Hammerborg era, Fog & Mørup won international acclaim and generated huge markets both at home and abroad.

The Portfolio of Johannes Hammerborg

Johannes Hammerborg personally created over sixty lamps, ranging from large Floor Lamps to ceiling lamps, and he also collaborated with other designers to ensure their designs met the high standards of Fog & Mørup’s new production requirements. To this day, Hammerborg’s designs remain fresh and compelling, and have won numerous awards over the years, including the CICi first prize in 1965 for the Nova, and four iF Product Design Awards in 1969 for the Classic, Tunika, Saturn and Diskos. Hammerborg left Fog & Mørup in 1980, and opened his own lighting design business. Tragically, Hammerborg passed away in 1982 after a skydiving accident on the island of Bornholm.
