Hans-Agne Jakobsson Brass Wall Lamp with Smoked Glass Shades, Sweden, 1960s
About the Item
This wall lamp is perhaps the most stunning model of Jakobsson’s. With a brass frame holding five smoked, translucent glass shades, this lamp is the upgraded, larger version of the model V 149/3. The design clearly shows the Swedish designer’s studies in architecture, with beautiful geometric forms and symmetry dominating the structure.
The dominating visual feature is the brass structure with five brass tubes connected by a large, vertical brass slat. The tubes are arranged on two levels, with two on the upper and three on the lower level, with each one holding a translucent, smoked glass shade. The shades resemble pressed spheres and have a generous size. Thanks to the arrangement of the brass poles and bulbs, this wall lamp divides the light in a unique way. When switched on, the light coming from the smoked glass shades brighten the yellow brass beautifully, as if it was also glowing from the inside. The vertical slat overreaches the shades, visually elongating the design, emphasizing the design’s geometrical nature.
This lamp has all the characteristics Jakobsson was famous for; it is elegant and stylish, and while the design allows it to be big and shiny, it never becomes tacky. This model was produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB, Markaryd in Sweden, and the design was still popular in the 1980s, even making an appearance in the 1983 – 1984 Philips catalogue.

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.
