Iconic Danish ceiling lamp called 'Milieu' from the begin 1970s. It was designed by Jo Hammerborg for the famous brand Fog & Mørup. 
 
The lamp has a sober character on the outside and provides a  very nice light. The outside is colored red and the inside is white.
 
The lamp has signs of wear that match its age. Inside there are some very fine rust-coloured dots and some scratches on the top. However, these are quite superficial and are not noticeable when the lamp is hanging up. Furthermore, the lamp was fully equipped with new cabling and fitting.
