Hans-Agne Jakobsson, manufactured in Markaryd, chandelier, brass, aluminium, Sweden, 1960s
Hans-Agne Jakobsson designed this brass chandelier with six cylindrical lightbulbs arranged in a circle in the 1960s. This gives the lamp a sculptural and three dimensional feeling. Due to the frosted glass plates inside each shade, the light partition is soft and pleasant. The golden brass has a beautiful warm look.
Hans-Agne Jakobsson (1919-2009) was designing in the golden age of Scandinavian design. Swedish interior decorator and furniture designer Hans-Agne Jakobsson is best remembered for his softly glowing, glare-free lighting fixtures, which were inspired by the organic modern approaches of Danish lighting master Poul Henningsen and Finnish icon Alvar Aalto. Jakobsson created a range of pendants, floor lamps, wall lamps, and table lamps that showcase a penchant for diverse materials and forms, as well as a deep understanding of lighting effects.
