The company continued to expand steadily through World War II. One of the most successful Fog & Mørup products from the pre-war era was the Kongelys Lamp, named for the Danish King Christian X in honor of his 25th jubilee in 1937.After the war—especially in the 1960s & ’70s—Fog & Mørup’s international reputation reached new heights. in 1959, Johannes (Jo) Hammerborg(1920-1982) joined as head of design & introduced modernist design principles to the Fog & Mørup collections.
