Hans Agne Jakobsson Brass Wall Lamp, Set of 4 Mid-century from Sweden
Located in Forest, BE
Nice set of 4 brass wall lamps. They provide a warm atmosphere and even better when lighted. Made of thin strips of brass delicately riveted with a brass nail to the metal frame. Minimal details. Great to have them as a set of 4 and especially in that condition. When can get more upon request. (Two more available). ______________________________________________________________ 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.

Scandinavian Modern Set of 6 Pendant Perforated Brass Lamps, 1960's
Located in Uccle, BE
Set of 6 perforated brass lamps. Total dimensions hung: H.140cm, D.40cm Active between the 1950s and '70s—in the golden age of Scandinavian design—Swedish interior decorator and furniture designer Hans-Agne Jakobsson (1919-2009) 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. Though lesser known today than many celebrated midcentury lighting designers like Jo Hammerborg and Verner Panton, 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. Jakobsson was born in Havdhem on the island of Gotland in Sweden in 1919. He first apprenticed as a carpenter and then continued his education in Gothenburg, graduating with a degree in architecture. He was hired by General Motors as an industrial designer and subsequently worked as an assistant to both Carl Malmsten (1888-1972)—one of the most prominent figures in Swedish design—and Werner West (1890-1959). In 1951, Jakobsson founded his eponymous furniture manufacturing company, Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, which is sometimes referred to as AB Markaryd. Although Jakobsson designed and produced various types of furniture, his lighting received greater international attention. Experimenting with a wide range of materials—including brass, iron, glass, fabric, and wood shavings—Jakobsson mastered both the direction and color of light. His designs are known for their hidden bulbs and streamlined ornamentation, which created diffused, muted lighting. Jakobsson’s career was prolific to say the least. His company produced over 2,000 separate lamps in fifty years. Jakobsson’s own body of work includes laminated pine pendant lamps, large bulbous glass chandeliers, all manner of muted lighting, and even Pop Art-inspired sconces. Examples include the outdoor light Tratten S2064 (1954), Estrella V258 Wall Lamp (1950s), Lamingo T325 Celling Light (1950s), his pinewood cylindrical B128 Table Lamp (1960s), BN26 Table Lamp...

Pair of Charlotte Perriand, Mid-Century Modern Red Metal Cp-1 Wall Light, 1960
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Wall sconces with rotating shades by Charlotte Perriand for Galerie Steph Simon, circa 1960. In good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina. Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999) she was born in Paris in 1903 and attended the E´cole de l'Union centrale des Arts de´coratifs from 1920-1925. Charlotte Perriand designed furniture made of anodized aluminium and chromium-plated steel, showing it at the 1927 "Salon d'Automne" in Paris. After meeting Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand worked with him and Pierre Jeanneret until 1937. The revolutionary tubular steel furnishings and system furniture designed by the three were presented as "E´quipement de l'habitation" (home equipment) at the 1929 "Salon d'Automne," where they were widely acclaimed. In 1930 the Union Des Artistes Modernes (UAM) was founded in Paris, a group that viewed itself as a countermovement challenging such establishment organizations as the "Salon d'Automne" and also advocated Art Deco and Modernism. From 1931 Charlotte Perriand showed her own work solo there. In 1937 Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret collaborated on designing a mountain chalet of sheet aluminium, which they showed at the "Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne" and later they came up with plans for prefab houses...

Vintage and Antique Lighting for Sale: Unique Table Lamps, Floor Lamps, Sconces and Other Lighting for Your Home

The right table lamp, outwardly sculptural chandelier or understated wall pendant can work wonders for your home. While we’re indebted to thinkers like Thomas Edison for critically important advancements in lighting and electricity, we’re still finding new ways to customize illumination to fit our personal spaces all these years later. A wide range of antique and vintage lighting can be found on 1stDibs.

Today, lighting designers like the self-taught Bec Brittain have used the flexible structure of LEDs to craft glamorous solutions by working with what is typically considered a harsh lighting source. By integrating glass and mirrors, reflection can be used to soften the glow from LEDs and warmly welcome light into any space.

Although contemporary innovators continue to impress, some of the classics can’t be beat. 

Just as gazing at the stars allows you to glimpse the universe’s past, vintage chandeliers like those designed by Gino Sarfatti and J. & L. Lobmeyr, for example, put on a similarly stunning show, each with a rich story to tell.

As dazzling as it is, the Arco lamp, on the other hand, prioritizes functionality — it’s wholly mobile, no drilling required. Designed in 1962 by architect-product designers Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, the piece takes the traditional form of a streetlamp and creates an elegant, arching floor fixture for at-home use.

There is no shortage of modernist lighting similarly prized by collectors and casual enthusiasts alike — there are Art Deco table lamps created in a universally appreciated style, the Tripod floor lamp by T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Greta Magnusson Grossman's sleek and minimalist Grasshopper lamps and, of course, the wealth of mid-century experimental lighting that emerged from Italian artisans at Arredoluce, FLOS and many more are hallmarks in illumination innovation

With decades of design evolution behind it, home lighting is no longer just practical. Crystalline shaping by designers like Gabriel Scott turns every lighting apparatus into a luxury accessory. A new installation doesn’t merely showcase a space; carefully chosen ceiling lights, table lamps and floor lamps can create a mood, spotlight a favorite piece or highlight your unique personality.

The sparkle that your space has been missing is waiting for you amid the growing collection of antique, vintage and contemporary lighting for sale on 1stDibs.
