_____________________________________________________________ Hans-Agne Jakobsson naît à Hvadhem sur l’île de Gotland en Suède. Menuisier de formation, il poursuit à Göteborg des études d’architecture qui lui permettent d’intégrer le département de design industriel au sein de General Motors. Très vite, sa passion du bois le rattrape et il s’oriente alors vers des créations plus artisanales. Il devient ainsi le collaborateur de designers célèbres tels que Carl Malmsten ou le très radical Werner West. De ces années d’apprentissage naît une profonde passion pour la lumière, la subtilité et la magie de l’éclairage. Installé dès 1950 à Markaryd dans le sud de la Suède, il propose ses créations dans sa boutique du centre-ville. L’anecdote raconte qu’un soir de Noël, trouvant son espace trop sombre, il crée dans l’urgence une suspension en pin. Son succès est tel qu’il décide de fonder en 1951 sa propre entreprise Hans-Agne Jakobsson A/B. La région de Markaryd est une région bordée de lacs et de bois sombres. Jakobsson ne s’inspire pas directement de la nature mais de l’atmosphère si particulière qui se dégage de ces paysages, où la lumière semble être en conflit perpétuel avec la nuit. Influencé par le modernisme, il s’intéresse également très tôt aux nouveaux matériaux qui apparaissent dans les années 1950. Le laiton le passionne tout particulièrement. Il l’associe naturellement au verre pour créer des modèles dont les plus monumentaux orneront les bâtiments publics, les salles de concert ou les églises. Il n’oublie pas pour autant les intérieurs de ses contemporains et crée de nombreuses lampes, lampadaires ou appliques n’ayant pour frontières que les limites de son imagination. Viendront au milieu des années 1960 les modèles en laiton et fils de soie qui connaissent un immense succès et propulsent Jakobsson parmi les créateurs les plus influents de sa génération. Le travail d’un autre grand créateur, le danois...

Shop Unique Furniture on 1stDibs
When it comes to shopping for vintage, new and antique furniture — whether you’re finally moving into that long-coveted loft apartment, ranch-style home, townhouse or furnishing your weekend house on the lake — you should think of your home as a stage for the seating, tables, lighting, storage cabinets and other pieces that best match your personality.
Coziness, comfort and creating a welcoming space are among the important things to consider when buying furniture, whether that means seeking strict cohesion or rooms characterized by a mix-and-match assembly of varying shapes, colors and materials. And for those who now work from home, exercise, eat and relax within the same four walls every day, they’ll also want to think about flexibility and an innovative approach.
Have you built your dream kitchen?
Is your current living-room furniture all that it could be?
Does your toast-worthy bar or vintage bar cart exude equal parts class and cheeriness?
And importantly, is your home office — backyard or otherwise — a happy one, regardless of the design style you happen to gravitate toward?
Although mid-century modern, rustic, minimalist, Art Deco and contemporary looks remain popular, they aren’t the only styles available to design connoisseurs.
Furniture styles are nothing if not fluid, meaning what’s popular one year may not be the next. That’s why it’s crucial to not only pay attention to interior-design trends but also focus on the styles that speak to you. That way, you (and your interior designer, if that is in the plans) can work to create a home that’s entirely your own, complete with impressively modern decor as well as an array of history’s universally renowned iconic designs.
It’s difficult to single out well-recognized designs from what is a crowded pantheon of celebrated and seminal furnishings. Certain outstanding designs have such stellar quality they’ve endured for decades as bona fide cultural treasures, still being manufactured, in many cases, by the same venerable companies that shepherded them into being (think Herman Miller, Knoll and Fritz Hansen). Some works come immediately to mind as contenders for any short list. When you’re discussing the most popular mid-century modern chairs, for example, no tally would be complete without citing designs by Arne Jacobsen, Charlotte Perriand, Charles and Ray Eames and Hans Wegner.
Good furniture, be it authentic vintage furniture or new & custom furniture, allows you to comfortably sit and tell your favorite stories. Great furniture tells a story of its own.
On 1stDibs, find everything from sofas to serveware to credenzas to coffee tables, and every other type of antique, vintage and new furniture you need to create a singular space that you’ll be proud to call home.
