Hans-Agne Jakobsson 'Sonata' Wall Light

About the Item

Hans-Agne Jakobsson for Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, wall light model V-169, brass, glass, Sweden, 1960s This beautiful brass and glass wall lamp, model V-169 from the 'Sonata' collection, was designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson in Sweden during the 1960s. This wall lamp features a round wall-mounted base with one arm. The arm that holds the light is finished with a smoked glass cylinder. A minimal yet luxurious design that is a wonderful addition to lighten up a space. The Swedish interior and furniture designer Hans-Agne Jakobsson (1919-2009) was born in Hvadhem, a small village located in the province Gotland, Sweden, in 1919. Jakobsson obtained an apprenticeship as a carpenter before completing an architectural study in Gothenburg. He made his entrance as an industrial designer at General Motors and subsequently started assisting furniture designers Carl Malmsten (1888-1972) and Werner West (1890-1959). In 1951, he established his own company ‘Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB’ in Markaryd, Sweden. He worked during the Golden Age of Scandinavian design and his oeuvre ranged from furniture, lighting, and various everyday objects. Jakobsson 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 (1894-1967) and Finnish icon Alvar Aalto (1898-1976). Jakobsson created a diversity 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. Throughout his career, Jakobsson carried out commissions for private homes as well as public buildings. In 2009, Hans-Agne Jakobsson passed away in Markaryd, leaving a long-lasting mark in the field of lighting design. Please note that this item is in good, used condition.
