Fog & Mørup - Claus Bonderup en Torsten Thorup - Hanging lamp (2) - Semi Ø 39.5 - Aluminium

Torsten Thorup (born 1944) and Claus Bonderup (born 1943) both graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, in 1969, and subsequently went on to work together at the studio of Danish architect Henning Larsen in Copenhagen.

The two architects worked professionally for most of their careers.

This set of 2 vintage Semi Pendant lights was once brought from Denmark. The pendant lamps are based on two quarter circles placed back to back. The striking, arched, enameled metal shade creates a diffuse, conical light, ideal above a dining table or countertop. With its light form, unique timeless design, and variety of colors and sizes, the Semi Pendant is highly versatile and suitable for both modern and Scandinavian interiors.

The Semi Pendant was designed in 1968 as a result of the creative collaboration between Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup. In reaction to the soft, organic shapes of the so-called "cozy" era prevalent in Denmark at the time, Bonderup and Thorup wanted to create a lamp with sharp, clean lines and a geometric shape. Their design was submitted to a competition at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, and won first prize. In the 1980s, the pendant lamp enjoyed great success, becoming the best-selling Danish design of the time, gaining worldwide recognition and iconic status.

It has many names; Trompetlamp, Heksenhoed, and Semi pendel. They have been rewired with approximately 200 cm of white wiring. The condition of these Fog and Morup lamps is certainly still very good, showing normal patina / signs of use from age and wear.
