Hans-Agne Jakobsson "V169-3" Wall Sconces for AB Markaryd, Sweden 1960s
About the Item
While Hans-Agne Jakobsson designed and produced various types of furniture, his lighting received greater international attention, not without a good reason. As these “V-169/3” wall sconces showcase, the Swedish designer mastered both the direction and colour of his lighting designs.
With each brass frame holding three tinted glass cylinder shades, these lamps clearly show the Swedish designer’s studies in architecture, with beautiful geometric forms and symmetry dominating the structures. The sconce is a wall-mounted lighting fixture, traditionally used to hold candles or torches. This pair of sconces additionally have a structural design that aims to showcase all the tinted glass cylindrical shades. The glass is tinted so that the sconces have a darker, mysterious look that provides great ambient and atmospheric light. Still, the glass is transparent letting the brass and lightbulbs show that further enhances the ambient light. The 1960s were defined by leading Swedish designers’ sleek and innovative modernist designs that became the trademark style in Scandinavian modern lighting. The simple design of these sconces is clean with a straightforwardly modern look. Combining the brass structures and round backplates with the translucent cylindrical tinted glass shades, this pair of sconces is brilliant in its simplicity. The prowess of the designer becomes evident as these models stand as statement pieces despite their minimalism. Since the two materials - brass and tinted glass - dictate the look, much attention was paid to their quality and to the craftsmanship that united them into the cylindrical shape to create a timelessly modern look. The design has great proportions, and when lit, these lamps create an exceptionally atmospheric light, giving the brass a vivid colour as well.
Sconces are a timeless type of lighting fixture that can easily elevate their surroundings. These fixtures never go out of style, and have been in use for centuries for a good reason. These models were produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson’s own company, Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden and are marked as well.
