ABOUT PRODUCTID 19241
The pair of Kastor sconces, designed by Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup in 1962, stands as a refined example of Danish mid-century modern lighting. Each lamp comprises three vertically aligned, almond-shaped copper segments, gently tapering at both ends and rendered in solid metal. The sculptural arrangement evokes both organic flower petals and the pioneering fins of a rocket, balancing dynamism with composure. The copper surface displays a rich, saturated orange-gold tone, its mirror-like polish reflecting surrounding light and architecture, subtly shifting its hue with every change in illumination. Structural details remain hidden—only the sleek form and discreet white cord ends catch the eye. Surfaces retain very good vintage condition, with only faint patina and minimal signs of previous use characteristic of well-preserved, high-quality copper from the 1960s.In these Kastor sconces, the spirit of 1960s Denmark speaks in design language—an era marked by optimism, clarity, and a quest for modernity. The sculpted silhouette suggests a deliberate simplicity and the Danish belief that light can shape atmosphere, not just serve as a necessity. Lustrous copper draws the eye, mirroring each movement and shifting shadow across the room, continuously recomposing the surrounding scene. The lively yet balanced proportions recall a time of refined innovation, with modernism expressed through audacious outlines and meticulous materials.These sconces may be paired with interiors featuring geometric lines and natural materials—complementing dark timber, wool textiles, matte ceramics, or minimalist art. They suit mid-century modern or Scandinavian minimalist environments that allow these lighting sculptures to take center stage, while in more eclectic or collector-oriented spaces, they could serve as a sculptural focal point, set against stone, glass, or delicately textured fabrics, highlighting the warmth and depth of their copper finish.
