Fog & Mørup Markise Pendant Lamp – Catalogue Picture
With the creation of MARKISE we have got a lamp in lovely fresh colours with a fascinating decoration matching the ground colour of the lamp. The wavy edge makes MARKISE light and unpretentious – with a touch of romance.
MARKISE is an exciting lamp in dining areas, children’s bedrooms, country cottages, coffee houses etc., i.e. in places where a somewhat livelier interior is wanted.
MARKISE is available in two sizes, 220 mm in diameter and 360 mm in diameter, each in four lovely colours: red, green, brown, and orange.
MARKISE is meant for ordinary bulbs of 60 watt for 220 mm and 100 watt for 360 mm, respectively.

P. Reinhard
Very little information is available about P. Reinhard. Fog & Mørup catalogues show that he designed at least the Markise and Flora lamps for the company, but a fuller biography has so far not been found.

Fog & Mørup
Fog & Mørup was founded in 1904 by Ansgar Fog (1880–1930) and Erik Mørup (1879–1972), originally as a metalwork wholesaler. In 1906 the company moved to Copenhagen and gradually developed into one of Denmark’s leading lighting manufacturers. Its strongest creative period began after Jo Hammerborg joined the company in 1957 as head of design, helping to establish Fog & Mørup as a major name in Danish modern lighting.
Designers and architects associated with the company include Jo Hammerborg, Claus Bonderup, Torsten Thorup, Sidse Werner, Sophus Frandsen, Jørgen Bo, E. Balslev, Peter Avondoglio, Karen Clemmensen, Ebbe Clemmensen and Hans Due.
Lyfa
Lyfa was founded in 1903 as Kjøbenhavns Lampe- og Lysekronefabrik. By the mid-20th century it had become one of the most important Danish lighting manufacturers, working with designers such as Bent Karlby, Louis Weisdorf, Piet Hein, Finn Juhl, Nils and Eva Koppel and others. In the late 1970s, Lyfa merged with Fog & Mørup, although both brands continued for a time to be marketed separately.
In the early 1980s, the combined Lyfa–Fog & Mørup business was taken over by Lyskær, after which the Fog & Mørup name gradually disappeared. Lyskaer–Lyfa remained active until 1991, when it was incorporated into Horn Belysning A/S.
Horn Belysning
Horn Belysning A/S, originally E.S. Horn, was founded in 1952 in Aalestrup, Denmark. In 1963 the company adopted the name Horn Belysning. It grew into a major volume producer for the Scandinavian and European market and counted IKEA among its important customers. By the 1980s, Horn was one of the largest lighting companies in Denmark.
In 1991, Horn Belysning acquired Lyskaer–Lyfa, which by then also included brands such as Lyfa, Fog & Mørup and ABO. In 2005, Horn was restructured: the outdoor lighting activities were sold to Nordlux, while the remaining company was relaunched as Lightyears. Lightyears was later acquired by Fritz Hansen.
