Elegant pendant light with a breathtaking organic design. The Milieu series was originally designed in 1975 by the renowned Danish lighting designer Jo Hammerborg, who was behind a large number of original lamps that have gained classic status over time - several based on the soft organic lines. The beautiful Milieu Mini Color pendant floats lightly and elegantly in the room, as if it were a celestial body in the celestial space that Jo Hammerborg was so fascinated by. The pendant is shaped like a hemisphere and is a multi-layer lamp design, creating a beautiful light effect that does not dazzle. The original design is inspired by Jo Hammerborg's great passion for flying and skydiving: the individual layers unfold beautifully, exactly like a parachute, and the pendant has a distinctive harmony and lightness that makes it a true design classic. Milieu Mini Color is available in a solid color variant in Clear White, which emphasizes the design's floating and light design. As a tribute to Jo Hammerborg's love for shiny metals, the Milieu Mini Color pendant is also available in a two-part version, where the several layers of the shade are made of solid brushed brass.

Jo Hammerborg
Danemark (1920-1982)
Johannes (Jo) Hammerborg was born in 1920 in the city of Randers in the Midtjylland region of Denmark, the fourth of seven children.
After completing his high school education in Randers, Hammerborg undertook training as a silversmith in Randers and Silkeborg during 1942 and 1943. In 1944 he entered Copenhagen’s Kunstakademiet, the prestigious Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and exhibitions of his paintings took place in Randers each year from 1944 to 1947.
In 1949 he took up work as a silversmith at Georg Jensen, where he remained for the next eight years.
In 1957 Hammerborg became head of design at Fog & Mørup.
His incumbency in this role was to prove the most successful period in the company’s 80-year history both artistically and commercially as he introduced a new modernist aesthetic, imposed a unified style of branding and introduced stringent new standards for the company’s output. From the smallest components making up the lamps to their labelling, packaging, advertising and showroom display, every facet of the business came under Hammerborg’s exacting eye for form and detail.
Hammerborg was a prolific designer, personally creating over 60 lamps, and also collaborated with other designers in adapting their designs to meet F&M’s new production requirements.
He worked closely with Holmegaard glassworks during the development of both his own glass lamps and those by Jacob E Bang, and similarly with Royal Copenhagen during F&M’s collaborations with the porcelain factory.
Jo Hammerborg’s own lighting designs for Fog & Mørup won numerous prizes, amongst them a CICi first prize in 1965 for the Nova and four iF Product Design Awards in 1969 for the Classic, Tunika, Saturn and Diskos.
