About the Item

These marvellous pastoral chandeliers are among the most recognizable Swedish lighting designs of the mid-century era. With brass frames holding 12 smoked, translucent glass shades, this model has become synonymous with Hans Agne Jakobsson’s design aesthetic. The design clearly shows the Swedish designer’s studies in architecture, with beautiful geometric forms and symmetry dominating the structure. The present 12-shade models are quite rare and the most stunning. The large chandeliers have brass frames with two triangular and one hexagram-shaped brass pole, each one holding a translucent shade. A master of lighting, Jakobsson created these lamps with “invisible” bulbs and thanks to their shape, they create a stunning optical effect when lit. The shades resemble pressed spheres and “hang” from the brass shade holders facing downwards. The round shape of the shades breaks the strict lines of the bodies to add visual and structural interest. Thanks to the arrangement of the brass poles and bulbs, the chandeliers divide the light over three levels in a unique way. When switched on, the light coming from the glass shades brighten the yellow brass beautifully, as if the brass was also glowing from the inside. From below, the chandeliers reveal their geometrical shape that resembles a modernist sculpture. Jakobsson was famed for his imaginative light fixtures, which utilize unique angles and 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. These ceiling lamps were created at his own famed workshop in Markaryd, Sweden, and have the firm’s mark on them. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Small damage on some glass shades. Dimensions: 31.88 in Ø x 60.23 in H 81 cm Ø x 153 cm H 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.
