Hans-Agne Jakobsson Chandelier Model T-837/7 in Brass and Glass, Sweden 1960s
About the Item
The “T-837” chandelier series belong to the rarer models of Hans-Agne Jakobsson, and they possess many similarities to the Swedish designer’s most famous and popular creations.
This marvellous, brass seven-light chandelier was created in what we now call “the golden age of Scandinavian design”. Hans-Agne Jakobsson was the great Swedish master of lighting, designing some of the most recognizable mid-century modern lamps of Scandinavia. Known as model ‘T-837/7’, this chandelier is immediately recognizable thanks to its characteristics, mainly its uniquely shaped glass shades. The amber-coloured glass shades have a tulip shape with narrowing tops that are equally mesmerizing whether the light is on or off. Similarly to his other models, the design clearly shows the Swedish designer’s studies in architecture, with beautiful geometric forms and symmetry dominating the structure. The polished brass structure is held by a single, vertical brass pole. Attached to the main pole are seven, symmetrically arranged curved poles with a shade on each end. The shade holders have a decorative shape that mimics the shades. The glass shades are arranged in close proximity to each other, therefore the chandelier’s brass structure seems to “glow” when lit, creating a dazzling effect. This model 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 remains elegant and modern even to the contemporary eye.
Like most of Jakobsson’s midcentury designs, this model utilizes unique angles and quality materials to create a soft quality of light. With a background in cabinetmaking and the world of architecture, shaping light with the use of materials and colours came naturally to him. This chandelier was created at his own famed workshop in Markaryd, Sweden.

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.
