Askepot industrial-style pendant light by Jo Hammerborg for Fog & Mørup, 1970s
Askepot, which translates into English as Cinderella, is an unusual industrial-style Jo Hammerborg pendant light design dating from 1976–77 and an exercise in textural contrast, with its glassily glossy red cap sitting atop a shade that has a grainy texture resembling cast iron on the outside and a matte silver-grey interior. Measuring 30 cm in diameter and 23 cm in height, the lamp is in very good vintage condition with minor signs of previous use.
