Hans-Agne Jakobsson "T-955" Metal and Brass Hanging Lamp, Sweden 20th Century
About the Item
The “T-995” hanging lamp is a stunning example of Swedish modern design. Hans-Agne Jakobsson was a prominent designer and lighting manufacturer, who played a crucial role in shaping the aesthetic of Swedish design during the mid- and even later part of the 20th century.
The design of this lamp features several unique elements, with the delicate sheet metal top standing in focus. Jakobsson was famed for his imaginative light fixtures; with a background in cabinetmaking and the world of architecture, shaping light with the use of materials and colours came naturally to him. This model was designed to emit a soft, diffused light that is perfect to add cosiness and a touch of modernism to any space. The material choice makes this lamp timeless both in terms of quality and design.
The placement of the shade and the silky brass finish culminate in a cohesive expression that is both iconic and enthralling. Similarly to Jakobsson’s other models, the design clearly shows the Swedish designer’s studies in architecture, with beautiful geometric forms and balance dominating the structure. The body is held by a single, vertical brass pole. Attached to the main pole is the delicate shade that sits on top of a tripod structure. The airiness of the piece is truly beautiful.
This lamp is a testament to the enduring appeal of Swedish modern design and to Hans-Agne Jakobsson's lasting legacy as one of the movement's most significant contributors.

About the Designer:
Born in 1919 in Gotland, Sweden, Hans Agne Jakobsson is one of the most well-known Swedish lighting designers. He did his carpenter apprenticeship before studying architecture in Gothenburg.
First working as an industrial designer for General Motors, he later founded his own company after being an assistant to the designers Carl Malmsten and Werner West. In 1950, due to Christmas, he added a model of hanging lamps in small strips of pine in one of his stores to soften the lively lighting of the shop window. The people who were passing by were immediately seduced by this hanging lamp, which started it all. He established his own company in 1951: Hans Agne Jakobsson AB and began producing this model in his factories and achieved success abroad as well. In 50 years, he designed more than 2000 lamps with unique designs.
He used materials and experimented with multiple techniques, for example using fabrics with fringes, blown glass of colour and smoked glass. His great diversity resulted in a wide range of timeless lighting models. These pieces continue to seduce design lovers, as they adapt themselves to any interior, without blending into the background.
Today, Jakobsson’s works can be found in private homes as well as public institutions throughout Sweden. The designer passed away in 2009 in Sweden, leaving behind a great legacy. ~H.
