Pierre Forssell important Brass Set of 7 Lamps from 1970's made in Sweden

About the Item

This is a unique and very exclusive set of 7 lamps hand crafted in 70's at the Skultuna studio were Pierre Forssell was working with he's assistant. Each lamp is made of a brass tube where some holes were drilled with the torch by these skilled craftsmans. Simple, minimal and elegant at the same time. The holes provides some warm atmosphere and the source of light is protected by a brass ring. Also in any other room as an entrance of the house. We do have a version as a table lamp 22cm and 40cm in our collection. Feel free to reach out for more. We have added a few pictures of some more items we have by the same designer. ______________________________________________________________ Pierre Oskar Paul Forssell, born 1925 in Stockholm, died 2004, was a Swedish designer, craftsman and silversmith. Forssell worked for Gense 1952–1964 where he designed the Piruett swivel fork (introduced 1955 on the H55, launched 1959) and the Spectra cutlery range (1961). He also carried out work for Skultuna Messingsbruk between the years 1955 and 1986, for example the wall sconces Pendel and Reflex. He also designed sacred art in brass, such as crosses and candlesticks, for several church rooms.

  • Hans Agne Jakobsson Brass Wall Lamp, Set of 4 Mid-century from Sweden
    By Hans-Agne Jakobsson
    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. Le travail d’un autre grand créateur, le danois...
